Review

Sluggish, predictable romantic yarn about two bereaved middleagers who after losing their respective partners in a plane crash find out that the two deceased were actually having an affair behind their backs. Harrison Ford and Kristin Scott Thomas look just as unlikely as a couple as their characters – a police sergeant and a congresswoman – would be. They scrape by, but it's as if director Sydney Pollack has to drag every hug, kiss and line out of them. And they get no help from the dreary script or Pollack's handling of it, as the film mulls over deceit and tragedy for over two hours without getting anywhere. It's an almost excruciating experience. Dave Grusin's jazzy score is the only redeeming quality. And no, Harrison Ford's earring is not another. There is also a multitude of fine character actors in insignificant and/or underdeveloped roles.
