Married To It

thankfully married to it is the last installment in my recent cybill shepherd mini-tribute run, although this was an ensemble piece, in all fairness. and i love the ensemble: stockard channing, robert sean leonard, ron silver, cybill, and so on, but i'm not sold on this sort of heavy handed tries too hard early 90s examination of fraying modern realtionships--three couples' lives that intertwine accidentally but to mutual benefit. it was a frustrating journey (particularly seeing channing so disheveled) full of cliche and oddly delivered lines (could mary stuart masterson be any more annoying?), but i did choke out a tear or two at the highly sentimental (and implausible) ending of a school pageant hommage to hippiedom. over all: a schlocky trip through drippy-dom.
