In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
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
If you like watching Warren in a wrinkled skin costume with harshly penciled eyebrows and tinted hair, then watch this movie. If you would rather remember him in his youth and glory, pick up the film "Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone" and luxuriate in his former beauty. It's sad when people age and refuse to accept who they are. Grandparent material, all of them! These people are probably typical of the wealthy, vapid folk who do populate T& C magazine, but they are boring without any help from the script. What a waste. If you paid good money to see this at the cinema, poor you! If you heard the news that Beatty and Keaton have lost their pizazz ages ago and smartly didn't go to this film, good for you!
Warren Beatty as a stumbling, bumbling, unfaithful husband--a well-to-do architect who can't even climb onto a roof without falling off. Married to fabric designer Diane Keaton for 25 years, Beatty has a fling with his best friend's soon-to-be ex-wife while carrying on a breezy affair with a pretty cellist. While on a fishing vacation with buddy Garry Shandling, he comes close to sleeping with two other eccentric females out for a good time. Though co-written by crack comedy vet Buck Henry, "Town & Country" is slow and stupid. The skittering sort of geniality which comes with watching an all-star cast in a big-budget production is enough to hold interest for awhile, but the characters don't take shape and the jokes never materialize. The sub-plot with flirtatious Andie MacDowell bringing Beatty home to meet her bombastic parents is bad enough to stop the picture dead in its tracks, and it really never recovers from this gaping pothole. Shandling does some nice underplaying, Goldie Hawn is attractive, and Beatty has one or two amusing moments of comic confusion. Otherwise, this troubled concoction sinks like a ship of fools. *1/2 from ****
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.
