Vital Film!

I have always been delighting Arthur Hiller's films and particularly such movies as "See No Evil, Hear No Evil", "Author! Author!" and "Outrageous Fortune". His comedies are kind and timeless and they can raise my mood always. "Married to It" is not typical Hiller's comedy. It's a film about relationships between people, about conceiving of a friendship between strangers, about differences between us and resemblances. It's very vital and clever story, here is very much funny and serious things, that we can to wonder. I very liked characters who play remarkable actors Beau Bridges, Stockard Channing, Robert Sean Leonard and Cybill Shepherd, they are real, charismatic and lovely.

Good but not great.

This movie could of been so much more. I enjoyed it to a certain extent, but there was something kind of Disney about it. Kind of surreal. The performances are absolutley fabulous though, especially on the behalf on Cybil Shepard and Robert Sean Lenord, who seem to carry the movie. If your into cutesy romance comedies, this is good movie for you to see, otherwise just stay away.

I really loved this movie

This movie was a genuine attempt to bring people down to earth about good old family values in a world where they seem to be less and less relevant. The characters are seen to work real hard to deal with the ups and downs of everyday life - The nuts and bolts that wear out as time goes by. It is truly touching the way they end up supporting and helping each other during tough times.

I give this movie a thumbs up because its characters have a sense of morality, I wish they had a bit more depth though. Over all the movie is a wonderful experience, for the whole family to enjoy. But it is not for everyone. This is one of those movies that some people will like and other will hate. Whether you like it or not will most likely depend upon what your parents taught you when you where kids. So give it a try. The 'f***' word is used at one point but I do not feel it makes the movie any less enjoyable for the family.

Unconvincing Yuppie dramatics.

The problem with this film is the characters. These aren't real people, they don't convince. Real people don't talk like that and they are so obviously fictional people created by a writer who doesn't have a clue as to how real people are and talk. The cast does try, but Stockard Channing is the only cast member that actually rises above the material, she is the only one you care about at all, and Mary Stuart Masterson is pretty good. It isn't a complete disaster, there are some interesting scenes between the cliché's. It could of used a little more trimming as well, it overlong at an hour and 52 minutes, and there are definitely a few obvious scenes that should have been edited out.

A great "circle of friends" movie

I loved it. But then you have to love this KIND of movie to enjoy it. It's not an epic motion picture, it isn't CGI laden, it's just a movie about people and the relationships and camaraderie they can form in spite of their vast differences. This is one of those movies where at least one of the characters is so you, someone you can really relate to. Sure it's not for everyone, but I enjoyed it.

Trivia
This was filmed in 1990 and originally intended for a 1991 theatrical release, but the financial problems of Orion Pictures forced the wide release to be delayed until 1993.

Goofs
Ron Silver's character mentions that Fidel Castro tried out for the Washington Senators baseball team. That is a common myth. It simply never happened.

Chuck Bishop: Iris is so talented. Is there anything she doesn't do?
Nina Bishop: [upset] I've got an idea. Why don't you fuck Iris?
[no reaction]
Nina Bishop: What? Cat caught your tongue?
Chuck Bishop: [baffled] No. I've never heard you use that word before.
Nina Bishop: Ohoh! Well, I suggest you get used to it, because I'm planning to use it a lot more often around here. 'Cause I'M the one who painted the fucking shelves, and I'M the one made the fucking curtains. And not ONLY did I make that stupid fucking casserole, I also make your fucking dinner EVERY fucking night. I'm sick and tired of doing all the fucking work around here, while you sit around MOPING all day like you're the only fucking person in the whole fucking world. And I'M rushing off to my fucking job, you still sit around in your fucking bathrobe. So FUCK you Charles fucking Bishop, FUCK you!
