Amusing comedy surrounding 4 groups of people's experiences at a luxury hotel. Alan Alda and Jane Fonda play an estranged couple, meeting up to discuss the living arrangements of their brattish teenage daughter, and finding that their feelings for each other may not be completely gone. Michael Caine and Maggie Smith are a comfortable married couple named Diana and Sidney's, who are in America to celebrate a possible win at the Oscar's for Diana's latest movie performance. Whilst getting ready, personal revelations come to light, and Sidney's somewhat passionless personality comes into question. Bill Crosby and Richard Pryor are best friends who are on holiday with their wives. And whilst originally everything seems calm, things immediately start to go wrong, leading to arguments and fights galore and resulting in an intense tennis match. Lastly, Walter Matthau and Elaine Ray are a married couple named Marvin and Millie, temporarily separated one evening before Marvin's birthday. After a drunken night, Marvin wakes up next to a prostitute named Bunny, whom he must get out of his room before his wife appears.
A funny little gem, and enjoyable segments with breast characters and a stellar cast. Only thing that might've made it better was to have ALL the characters interact with each other.
