Actually, this comedy is one of the more enjoyable films to examine midlife crisis in the 1980s. Written and directed by Alan Alda, it examines the effects of middle age on a group of married couples who are longtime friends. Each season they go away on a vacation together, but the dynamic gets skewed when one of the men dumps his wife for a younger woman. Though some may find the characters' self-satisfaction and upscale neuroses a shade cloying, they are more than matched by Alda's solid, often funny writing. The couple with the biggest laughs: the hilariously paired Jack Weston and Rita Moreno (although Alda and Carol Burnett also strike comic sparks). --Marshall Fine

Customer Reviews

good movie, okay transfer from film to DVD
Overall a highly entertaining movie. The growth and maturing of friendships which translates into individual growth. The quality of the transfer from film to video is okay. It could have been better. A good film for couples.

Great Movie
The Four Seasons is a great movie. It is funny, has great music, beautiful locations ranging from the Virgin Islands, to a ski resort and wonderful performances by the entire cast.

After watching this movie, you'll start taking stock of your friends and the last few trips you went on with your friends.

Great for a Saturday night at home with the family.

Little kids, probably won't enjoy this.

a classic movie
In my opinion, this is a must see for long married couples. Having friendships as married people is alot like dating , only harder because both of you have to like both of the others. Add more couples and it becomes even harder. And when one of the couples in your group breaks up, well... it's like a death in the family.
The Four Seasons depicts 3 long married couples who are close friends and who do alot together. The insights offered by seeing these people interact are worth months of marriage counseling, in a far more humorous way. You will see yourself, your marriage, and your friends in this sweet, funny movie. Invite your closest friends, the ones who have been through it all with you and yours, and have a movie night.
