3.0 out of 5 stars luminous Shirley MacLaine, January 18, 2005

This review is from: Loving Couples [VHS] (VHS Tape)

LOVING COUPLES is a cute little romantic comedy which is only noteworthy for it's quartet of stars (Shirley MacLaine, James Coburn, Susan Sarandon and Stephen Collins). It has a lovely musical score and a great supporting performance from Sally Kellerman as the seductive Mrs Liggett.

The plot is thin. Shirley MacLaine plays the vivacious wife of a doctor (James Coburn) who falls in love with a real-estate agent (Stephen Collins). MacLaine's husband then proceeds to have an affair with the girlfriend of Collins (Susan Sarandon).

Enjoyable fluff, elevated by it's stars, especially luminous Shirley MacLaine.

I can say that Shirley MacLaine, James Coburn, Stephen Collins, and Susan Sarandon were the highlights. Great actors who worked with what they had, which was a rather light movie. Best part of the film for me: Shirley and Stephen boogging down on the dance floor!

I am a big Stephen collin fan so I bought this DVD. I was happy to find it is a pretty good film. If you can get it for a few dollars, it is worth it.
