Husbands and Wives - 1992 * * *


If no one has already noticed I adore Woody Allen and how talented he is. My mission is to see every single one of his movies he ever directed, produced and starred in. Husbands and Wives was high on the list because he was starring in it with Mia Farrow (who I'm pretty sure had just ended their relationship regarding his infidelity when filming began) and I love how the pair interact with each other.
This film actually isn't based on the Allen-Farrow relationship although viewers might at first believe so and therefore it was slightly easier to watch knowing that it was all make-believe. Judy and Gabe are horrified one evening to hear that their two best married friends are splitting up as an experiment and this causes them to focus on the already obvious problems in their own relationship.
Expect classic Allen, ad-libbing all over the place and making nearly every scene his own. This isn't one of his best in my opinion but still one you have to watch.
