Divorce American Style
I'd lean more towards gbgoodies on this one, actually. I kind of liked it! The two leads, Dick van Dyke and Debbie Reynolds, were both perfectly satisfying, and the other actors were good as well, not a problem there. While the last 15 minutes were lazy as Citizen Rules mentioned, I think the rest of it had some pretty entertaining - if not exactly funny - scenes and lines. This also proves to be an important satire that remains relevant today, about how hard relationships are... the ending is very unrealistic, but I liked the two leads well enough that I really wanted it for them. With all that said, there is something missing that doesn't really make it a 5-star, or even 4-star movie... I'll have to think about it. But I know I did enjoy it fairly well.
