Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Parker and Goldman seem to want this battling couple to represent a sort of romantic '60s point of view, and they show up the younger lovers as shallow, '70s-style hedonists.
Customer Reviews
Shoot the Moon
This movie will tear your heart out. It is well acted, particularly Diane Keaton and the oldest child. But beware: After the movie you'll feel like you've been punished. If you're thinking of getting a divorce, watch this movie before announcing your intentions.
