Some appropriately highly spirited supporting performances, in particular from Charles Boyer, are the highlight of this pleasant but otherwise quite run-of-the-mill comedy. Jane Fonda tends to go a bit over-the-top, the jokes and puns are often rather obvious and too repetitive to be entertaining, and to top it all off, the end few minutes are awfully silly without being at all amusing. It certainly is not a bad film, though. Some witty dialogue, a few notable performances and some great music bring the film some salvation for what problems it arguably has. Still, it is nothing really special or highly recommended. Nice, not great.
