Summary: lovers and other strangers
Review: A 1970 MOVIE THAT STILL RINGS TRUE TODAY. EXCELLENT PERFORMANCES BY ALL ESPECIALLY RICHARD CASTALLANO AND GIG YOUNG. VERY ENJOYABLE MOVIE.

Summary: Still funny after all these years
Review: A big wedding, funny relatives, bittersweet relationships, a very young Diane Keaton -- what's not to love? In crowded theaters, Bob Dishy and Richard Castellano stole the show. Castellano still stands out, as do Gig Young and Bea Arthur. Favorite moment (for guys): a Steadicam shot of Bonnie Bedelia's face as she walks toward a bed. Not even Liz Taylor's face could rival Bedelia's for those few seconds. Favorite moment (for gals): Harry Guardino blowing a sweet, macho kiss to Anne Meara during the wedding ceremony.

Summary: Something the "Viewer from Seattle" should consider!
Review: I found this movie to be a splendid comedy, which kept me chuckling like I was on laughing gas. It's a spectacular comedy from husband-and-wife team Renée Taylor (The Nanny) and Joseph Bologna (Big Daddy). It's also a great thrill to see Golden Globe and Emmy-winning Beatrice Arthur, along with Bonnie Bedelia, Richard Castellano, Bob Dishy, Michael Brandon, a young future Oscar-winner Diane Keaton, and Oscar-nominee Gig Young in one of his last films. I recommend this movie for anyone who just loves movies in general!
~~As for that viewer from Seattle, I'm not mad at that particular section of his review, BUT [they] SHOULD take into consideration that the following statement:
****Favorite moment (for guys): a Steadicam shot of Bonnie Bedelia's face as she walks toward a bed. Not even Liz Taylor's face could rival Bedelia's for those few seconds. Favorite moment (for gals): Harry Guardino blowing a sweet, macho kiss to Anne Meara during the wedding ceremony.****
--Leaves out certain people.
I think, had they taken more consideration of other people into account, they would've had a stronger opening statement, which would've been written like this:
:._-~*Favorite moment (for gal-lovers): a Steadicam shot of Bonnie Bedelia's face as she walks toward a bed. Not even Liz Taylor's face could rival Bedelia's for those few seconds. Favorite moment (for guy-lovers): Harry Guardino blowing a sweet, macho kiss to Anne Meara during the wedding ceremony.*~-_.:
Now that's the way the review shoulda looked--at least mine should come-off better to the polite-at-heart.
----
Anyways, when deciding if you'd like to purchase the movie or not, I suggest you choose "Add To Shopping Cart"--because it will be a wise choice that you are heavily rewarded for!

Summary: Dated and surprisingly unfunny
Review: I had not seen this film for about 25 years, and I looked forward to watching it again. If, like me, you enjoy Cloris Leachman and Bea Arthur, in particular, then you are surely tempted to pick up this DVD. May I suggest you rent it first?
For me, this film has the sort of period-specific humor that does not age well. Now, it seems forced and quite unfunny (unless you still laugh at homophobic jokes, for example), and it doesn't even hold any charm as a time capsule. It's "Love American Style" -- unbearable to watch now -- stretched into movie length.

Summary: I Know How You Hate Veiny Veal. . .
Review: Just one of the brilliant lines in this wonderful film that is STILL not out on DVD.Wonderful cast, although you have to buy that Cloris Leachman is the mother of Bonnie Bedelia and Anne Meara. Best lines: Bea Arthur.
Best scene: love on a toilet seat. And I wouldn't mind a book about Spain, either. . .

Summary: Great movie and interesting cast
Review: My great aunt is actually in the movie, which is why I've been dying to see it since I was 8 years old. My parents wouldn't take me when it was initially released (given my impressionable age) but I thoroughly enjoyed watching it as an adult. It's a timeless commentary on love lives, marriage, infidelity, commitment, etc. Poignant and amusing as well. I'm going to recommend that my neighborhood video vault (that claims to rent every movie ever made, but didn't have this one in stock) find a copy to rent! By the way, my great aunt plays Harry Guardino's mom. She always used to play somebody's mom...

Summary: Lovers and Other Strangers
Review: The film was made in 1970 and I still want to buy it. There aren't too many 30-year-old movies I want to have on video, so there must be something to it. It has classic lines and terrific humor with good performances all around. You will enjoy it.

Summary: A funny but sad look at marriage .
Review: This film is a funny but sad commentary on marriage as seen through the eyes of different generations. The cast is wonderful, especially Bea Arthur as the wife and mother whose line, "I can understand you wanting to leave, but I can't understand you leaving" shows the difference in how women have changed in the way they look at marriage. Diane Keaton, Gig Young, Anne Jackson, and Richard Castellano are all excellent in their roles. This is one of my top 10 movies and the song,"For All We Know" by the Carpenters fits perfectly with the theme.
