A rather touching but wacky tale of a rather odd bunch of characters; there are many very funny moments, and there are some unfulfilled aspects of the plot that are left unexplained: did the couple eventually agree to father the child? who got Holly pregnant at the end of the film? Each character seems to have a large amount of money (or is closely related to one), their own accountant and psychotherapist. The one aspect of the film I most liked was the bravery of lots of interior monologue from the characters - its exceptionally rare to see that in films.

Fun movie! Incredible music and every one had a waist line!

Despite its three Oscars, a dream cast, and comparisons to Bergman’s "Fanny and Alexander"—a parallel I find tenuous at best—writer/director Woody Allen has simply turned out another glossy “comedy of neuroses” involving well-to-do New Yorkers who talk too much as they wrestle with First World problems over the course of one year—Thanksgiving to Thanksgiving. It’s all highly polished of course from the savvy Manhattan settings to the intricate layering of multiple storylines, but one still can’t shake off a strong sense of déjà vu to this skittish ensemble piece because Woody Allen’s done it many times before. Lloyd Nolan and Maureen O’Hara do put in grand performances as aging Vaudevillian parents, and the comedic slack is further taken up by the likes of Julie Kavner, Carrie Fisher, and Daniel Stern. Whether or not it deserved all those kudos is up for discussion but if you appreciate Woody Allen’s sense of style and wit you won’t go home disappointed.

Vintage Woody and wonderful to see Manhattan city streets from the 1980s.

Typical Woody Allen----well-written and witty----dysfunctional family with one stable family member portrayed by Mia Farrow---

interesting mix of characters with much humor intermingled; typical Woody Allen film
