Product Description

 
Ivan Travalian (Al Pacino, SCARFACE) is having a tough time of it. A struggling playwright who is finally getting attention on Broadway, his wife (Dyann Cannon, BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE) has left him, along with her three kids from another marriage and Travalian's own son. His lead actress (Tuesday Weld, THIEF), moreover, is interested in moving in as well, but she has possibly insurmountable objections when it comes to children. Pacino shines, passionately playing the role of the author whose fierce determination allows the family unit to remain intact.

No Standing Ovation for This "Author, Author"

Date of Review:  May 11, 2002
The Bottom Line: Don't bother. Stick to old reruns of the "Brady Bunch" and "Partridge Family".
Review: Watching Al Pacino do comedy is somewhat like watching DeNiro in "Analyze This". It just doesn't gel. My cinematic image of Pacino is "Dog Day Afternoon", "Sea of Love" and the Godfather series. Perhaps he just wanted to stretch his comedic wings...
