Husbands and Wives (1992)

.
"God never plays dice with the universe"
"No, he just plays hide-and-seek."

When Gabe (Woody Allen, who also wrote and directed) and his wife Judy (Mia Farrow) find out their best friends, Jack (Sydney Pollack) and Sally (Judy Davis) are breaking up, it causes Gabe and Judy more distress than it appears to cause Jack and Sally. It also makes Gabe and Judy to reevaluate their own marriage.

Also appearing are Timothy Jerome as a man Sally tries to date; Lysette Anthony as Jack's new girlfriend Sam; Juliette Lewis as Rain, one of Gabe's students with whom he is growing quite smitten; Liam Neeson as Michael who become's Sally's first serious boyfriend; Ron Rifkin as Rain's former therapist/ex-boyfriend; Blythe Danner and Brian McConnachie as Rain's parents; Benno Schmidt as Judy's ex-husband.

Run time: 1 hour, 48 minutes

Rated R for language and a scene of sexuality.

My personal rating: B
