This is a total downer - just pass unless you like depressing movies and your copy of There Will Be Blood has gone missing.
Faith and George (Diane Keaton and Albert Finney) are married, but George is having an affair with Sandy (Karen Allen). So after another crappy night of pretending, he leaves (Faith has already packed his bag). Then we get to watch the divorce. At one point George starts spanking one of his kids with a wire hanger, plus he breaks a couple of doors. At another point, they get in a ridiculous, forced argument in a restaurant and then have sex. This is just no fun. Who wants to watch a divorce? And of course, the actors are great, so you really feel the pain.
The worst part is watching the kids, because they have a hard time. The parents behave so badly that it's torture to watch the kids. The kids are also the best part, because Tina Yothers (Family Ties) and Traci Gold (Growing Pains) and Dana Hill are all here. Those kids grew up on TV and in movies. They're really incredible. But I would pass. The ending is insanely depressing.
