"Husbands and Wives" DVD
In “Husbands and Wives,” Gabe and Judy Roth (Woody Allen
and Mia Farrow) are a childless couple who have been married for ten
years. The Roths are shocked when their long-married friends Jack
(Sydney Pollack) and Sally (Judy Davis) tell them they plan to divorce.
Soon Jack is living with an air-headed aerobics instructor half his
age, and Sally is struggling with dating. Meanwhile, Gabe is attracted
to a 20-year-old student of his, and Judy is drawn to a man (Liam
Neeson) that Sally has dated. For me, "Husbands and Wives"
offers big laughs and sharp insights into human nature, but it’s
too edgy to be considered a feel-good comedy. Although the DVD offers
no special features of any consequence, I highly recommend this movie. |
