Dies und das:

The production was hounded by re-shoots, rewrites, recasting, bad advance press, and an increasing budget.

Pannen:

Abfolgefehler: When the Claybournes arrive at the cabin in their Hummer, Mr. Clayboure gets out with his shotgun, walks toward the cabin and shoots the bear suit. When we cut to Mrs. Claybourne's reaction, the shotgun is leaning against the rear tire.

Dialogzitate:

Porter: I understand that you were an intimate of Hemingway's.
Eugenie's Father: Intimate? Is that some kind of homo thing?

Long on talent, short on laughs.

"Town and Country" is a critically panned but mildly amusing flick which tells of the marital misadventures of two of middle aged couples (Hawn/Sanders, Keaton/Beatty) who split up over reasons of fidelity. The flick is top heavy with talent on the audience side of the lens with no evidence of same in screenplay and direction. Fraught with meandering repartee, comedic situation which come off like bad improv, a jerky flow, lack of cohesion, no center of gravity, etc. "T&C" isn't as awful as it is an underachiever. Okay for hard up sofa spuds.
