Don't Believe the Hype

Admirable film.

Absolutely the worst movie.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I didn't get why the IMDb's users reviews underrated this movie...the plot is good...the casting are fantastic....all situation is really funny...and Goldie Hawn was sexy than never in white tight paints...Warren Beatty has a nice performance and getting trouble when your wife found out the truth, Garry Shandling has a nice role as disguised man caught on trap when someone tell to his wife Goldie Hawn about your betrayal...Just Diane Keaton seems to be out of tune in fact i little bit... around all the gorgeous women already no longer a beauty woman...Nastassja and Macdowell are great sexy roles even in short scenes....Good sex comedy!!!Resume:First watch: 2003 / How many: 5 / Source: Cable TV-DVD / Rating: 7

Picked this thing up at the library, a CD, free, no rental fees (thank God). I'd just "watched" another movie on one computer while working on another, the movie even if intended as background noise catching my attention, my work finally lain aside as I realized the movie was absolutely delightful. I then slipped Town and Country into the CD drive of my background noise computer, got back to work for a few minutes, wasn't quite certain why the sensation crawling up and down my skin was something like finger nails drawn across a chalk board, finally realized that Town and County in my background noise computer was screeching and prickling to extremes I couldn't previously have imagined possible.

Incredibly bad comedy. Happily married couple Porter (Warren Beatty) and Ellie (Diane Keaton) are shocked to find out that a friend of theirs called Griffin (Garry Shandling!) is cheating on his wife (Goldie Hawn). This gets Porter to start thinking about cheating on HIS wife with a beautiful musician (Nastassia Kinski).Abysmal. This movie took three YEARS to make before it was even released. It was plagued by infighting, re shoots, rewrites and clashing star egos. Beatty has gotten most of the blame for trying to control everything. All of this fighting shows up on the screen unfortunately. The script lurches all over the place veering wildly from scene to scene. Sometimes it tries to play like a sophisticated comedy--other times it plays slapstick so broad that the Three Stooges would be embarrassed (was putting Beatty in a polar bear costume supposed to be funny?). None of the jokes are funny--not one! I didn't even smile once let alone laugh. Also we have some talented actors like Jenna Elfman and Andie MacDowell doing some of the worst comedic bits I've ever seen. I'm still waiting to find out how MacDowell and her dolls were supposed to be funny. Then we have Josh Harnett (billed here as "Joshua") giving another bad performance and Charlton Heston completely humiliating himself.This gets a 2 because most of the cast really tries. Shandling is bad but Keaton and Hawn are just great and Beatty is somewhat amusing (seeing him doing comedy is--interesting). Also Kinski is just great in her small role. For them I give this a 2 but this seriously can be safely skipped. ALMOST worth seeing to see how bad a comedy can truly be.

Warren Beatty and Buck Henry team again (many years after the pleasant "Heaven Can Wait") in a boring film, supposed to be a modern comedy about the sexual and emotional relationships of Beatty but in a unfunny and not amusing way. The all-star cast can't save the swallow script (to be honest only Warren Beatty is as good as you expect, the female roles are simply dull - especially Andie McDowell - and the talented efforts are wasted almost in the middle of the movie. Some funny lines between Beatty and Shandling and nothing more at all. From the - "Once Upon a Time I made a great film " director Peter Chelsom ("Hear My Song")
