Off... Ellie and Porter Stoddard appear to be the perfect couple. Ellie (Diane Keaton) is a successful designer, Porter (Warren Beatty) a high-powered architect, living in the lap of luxury on Fifth Avenue with their wonderful children and various foreigners wandering through their home. Off they jet to Paris to celebrate their 25th anniversary with their best friends, Griffin (Garry Shandling) and Mona (Goldie Hawn). But upon their return to New York, the idyllic life disappears when Mona catches Griffin having an affair, setting off a trail of suspicion and betrayal among the foursome. While Porter tries to downplay his fling with a cellist named Alex (Nastassja Kinski), he gets himself stuck in hilarious entanglements with Jenna Elfman and Andie MacDowell--and a much more serious one with his oldest and dearest friend, Mona. Peter Chelsom's romantic comedy, cowritten by and featuring the great Buck Henry, is a lighthearted romp through New York City, Sun Valley, Mississippi, Paris, and the Hamptons. The terrific cast also includes Charlton Heston and Marian Seldes as MacDowell's dangerously bizarre parents, but it is Shandling and Beatty who steal the show. Shandling provides constant comic relief as he struggles with his newfound sexuality while Beatty hems and haws his way through a series of increasingly ridiculous situations, able to do with a glance and a grin what most actors can't do in a lifetime.

Por que deveríamos nos interessar por estes ricaços fúteis e seus ridículos problemas amorosos?
Some scenes are all wind-up and no pitch, but Town & Country and its perfect cast often meander into hilarious insights on the frailty of love.
The stars play the same tired characters they have made a grand living off for too many years.
Instead of humorous, this film is obtuse. Instead of romantic, it's boorish. Do yourself a favor and just pass on this bloated piece of gunk and rent some of the earlier films from director Woody Allen, which "Country" so woefully tries to emulate.
a Waterford crystal candy dish full of dusty mints ... an episodic, paper-thin story that seems to have been lifted from a 35-year-old Jack Lemmon movie.
Everything that happens after the first 80 minutes or so falls so flat you can see the actors wincing.
