This film was better the second time I watched it. It wasn't the movie that it was hyped to be but when you accept it for what it really is, a dark comedy, it is truely wonderful! Casting was superb all the way around with this film. Bette Midler was excellent as Brenda Morelli Cushman. I found myself forgetting that she really was Bette Midler. That is acting! Eleen Heckart turned a wonderful performance as Catherine MacDuggan. Rob Reiner had a memorable line about collagen as Dr. Morris Packman. Jennifer Dundas does a superb job as Diane Keaton's tough, rebellious(against Daddy) daughter Chris Parallis. Expect the unexpected and enjoy this for the intelligent dark comedy that it is.
