Movie Reviews of Town and Country
Movie Review: what went wrong
Summary: 2 Stars
All these actors and all the pretty places they live and the marvelous houses and clothes and cars and interesting careers yet the movie is empty. Maybe you expect more from people when they get past the age of fifty. It could have been fun and flirty and silly without losing all sense of proportion. I wanted to like these people and to care but when Wareen Beatty and Goldi Hawn show up wearing the same clothes they wore thirty years ago and playing the same character they've played before you begin to feel sorry for them. Give me something new besides all the pretty things. What a fun romp this could have been.
Summary of Town and Country
A hilarious look at the trials and tribulations of modern-day marriage and friendship. Special features: cast and crew filmographies: original theatrical trailer: english subtitles and closed captions and dvd-rom link to theatrical web site. Studio: New Line Home Video Release Date: 02/03/2004 Starring: Andie Macdowell Nastassja Kinski Run time: 104 minutes Rating: RReleased two years later than originally scheduled, Town & Country was plagued by the kind of negative buzz that few movies recover from. Like the infamous Ishtar, this Warren Beatty-led ensemble comedy is ungainly and erratic, but when it's funny it's quite funny, and the involvement of cowriter Buck Henry makes it a lot smarter than most of what passes for wit in postmillennial comedy. An updated sex farce fueled by modern-day foibles, the movie's also an apologetic valentine from notorious womanizers like Beatty, who, as wealthy Manhattan architect Porter Stoddard, is paying the price for his dalliance with a sexy cellist (Nastassja Kinski). While Porter's wife (Diane Keaton) fumes with suspicion, their best friends Mona (Goldie Hawn) and Griffin (Garry Shandling) wage their own marital warfare after Mona spies Griffin with a gorgeous redhead. Mona shouldn't believe what she sees, but she still has cause to worry.
Porter also has a fling with a ski-bunny psycho (Andie MacDowell) with an obsessively protective father (Charlton Heston), and a store clerk (Jenna Elfman) with a thing for Russian literature. It all leads to comedic acts of contrition, but too many gags are strained or flat; lacking knowledge of its troubled history, you'd still think Town & Country was a puzzle with missing pieces. And yet, these veteran stars somehow pull it together just enough to make it work, and with the stammering Shandling as a standout, the movie boasts a few noteworthy highlights. Heston's a riot (believe it or not), and although Town & Country doesn't fire on all pistons, it's got enough horsepower to suggest it could've been a contender. --Jeff Shannon
