Summary: Self-indulgent baby boomers try to act cute.
Review: A mean-spirited celebration of narcissism. Midler and Farina, playing the divorced parents of Molly De Mora, (played by Paula Marshall) rekindle their romance at her wedding and selfishly ruin her honeymoon. Aw, but they love their daughter, so it's OK. All the characters except for Midler, Farina and Donna are stuck with thankless two-dimensional roles where they're forced to riff on their most pathological personality traits every time the camera is pointed at them. And though this is allegedly a "comedy," director Carl Reiner appears to have a political ax to grind, inserting partisan jabs at odd moments.

Summary: average romantic comedy
Review: Bette Midler and Dennis Farina rediscover love in the romantic comedy THAT OLD FEELING, directed by Carl Reiner with flair and panache.Happily divorced for 14 years, Lilly (Bette Midler) and Dan (Dennis Farina) still have one thing in common; they hate each other's guts! But during their daughter's (Paula Marshall) wedding, they get so overly emotional that hate turns to unbridled passion! Soon the lovebirds are on the run with her frantic daughter and an oily paparazzo in hot pursuit. Midler successfully returns to her trademark camp forte here, while Farina and Marshall are equally appealing. With Gail O'Grady, David Rasche and Danny Nucci.

Summary: The missing feeling
Review: Carl Reiner normally makes a much better showing than this. He had all the elements, with Midler, Farina, and the gorgeous Paula Marshall, but the writing let him down big time. Spend your entertainment dollars elswhere.

Summary: Great Fun- Bette at her Best!
Review: First a suggestion to the viewer below from Rockwall. You need to see this one again. In terms of comedy, "That Old Feeling" is bubbling with it ! Anyone who knows anything at all about Bette Midler, knows that her snappy wit and peppered dialog go along with the program. As a film star who meets up with her writer ex-husband after 14 years at their daughters wedding, Bette and Dennis Farina bounce beautifully off one another. The dialog is quick and sharp , and Bette is at her best in her scenes sparring with Farina. Paula Marshall and Danny Nucci are good as the younger romantic leads, and David Rasche and Gail O'Grady stand out as the present spouses of Midler and Farina, but it is Bette, as always who steals the show. Though the characters break all the rules of taste and family stability, you still root for them to kiss and make up in the end. Romance and comedy are mixed to perfection here. Carl Reiner did a fine directing job.

Summary: Pleasing Romantic Comedy!!
Review: First off, this movie is very colorful which is great. The cast wear some very vibrant and pleaing to the eyes costumes especially Bette Midler. Bette and Dennis Farina are two famous people who attend the wedding of their daughter only to find that they still love one another alot. They argue much throughout the movie. Because of her parents, the daughter ends up not being able to spend time with her husband who ends up having an affair with her father's wife. There is so much confusion but comedy here. Danny Nucci is the papparazzi who falls in love with Bette and Dennis' daughter. This movie works mainly because all of the supporting cast which includes Danny Nucci, Paula Marshall and others do well as the starrers, BETTE AND DENNIS, have very little to do but add moments of comedy when they do appear. Overall, this is a nice film for couples of any age. It is both very funny and touching at the same time and the color here once again is great.

Summary: midler and farina were made for each other!!!
Review: I can't count how many times I have seen this movie and still it makes me laugh. Not a very complex comedy but it doesn't need to be: Molly (Paula Marshall) is getting married to an up-tight blue-blood and is worried that her parents (Midler and Farina) who have been divorced for many years and still hate each other "with a nuclear capability" will ruin her wedding. Despite her reservations she invites them both and it almost comes to a slugfest in the middle of the reception. Yet immediately afterwards the romance, mysteriously, rekindles and the reunited parents of the bride ditch their new spouses (a gold-digger step mother and an overly sensitive therapist stepfather who is a little too attached to his dogs) to head off for a wild weekend, leaving Molly to find them and split them apart. For help finding her actress mother Molly gets the help of an overzealous paporazzi (played by Danny Nucci) to find them (of course the romance between the two youngsters can't be contained either). What is the true gem of this movie is the way Midler and Farina play off each other; here is a middle aged couple acting (and even dressing) middle aged but show that no matter how old you are you still have "that old feeling". The argument scenes between them are hysterical and quick-witted (a staple of any Midler performance; aside from Bette Davis-- Midler's namesake-- no one can deliver an insult better than Bette Midler with humor and wrath). This is a great movie for a Saturday afternoon and I would highly recommend this to anyone!
