Four Seasons review

Four Seasons = B
Saw this one on HBO in widescreen format, which is always a plus in my opinion.
Good movie, but I'd have a hard time saying it was exceptional. One thing I really liked about it was the dialogue. It seems anything Alan Alda writes is at least worth seeing. This movie is no different.
The movie is probably too old for Ebert and Berardinelli to have reviewed, but this one at Reel.com is worth reading.
The couples aren't young and beautiful (except for Armstrong); the women are attractive, but not stunning, as are the men. And, most unusual of all, the movie celebrates the wisdom of life experience.
Alda's first hat-trick film—he wrote, directed, and stars in it—remains heartwarming and inspirational without being cheesy.
