Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

You'd have thought that Nora Ephron and Mike Nichols had remade Heaven's Gate: that was the critical reaction to this film version of Ephron's semiautobiographical novel about her own marital woes. The fact that they had Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep playing thinly disguised versions of Carl Bernstein and Ephron probably made them bigger, fatter targets. In fact, the film was a genuinely funny and painful look at the effects of marital infidelity and divorce, in the story of two married writers and what happens when the pregnant wife finds out the husband has been fooling around behind her back. The film is more dramatic and less quip-filled than Ephron's novel, which made the Ephron character a food writer and was peppered with recipes. Nicholson stepped into his role at the last minute, when Nichols fired Mandy Patinkin for being too intense and not funny enough. --Marshall Fine

5.0 out of 5 stars Fairly brilliant, Jun 22 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Heartburn (DVD)
Mike Nichols defied all odds by presenting two of the most unlikable lead characters (insecure whiner and philandering cad)in movie history and yet still created a wonderfully sharp and sad look at a doomed relationship. This is great stuff with strong turns by Streep and Nicholson and a screamingly funny Catherine O'Hara in a small role. Those early negative reviewers completely missed the point of this one. Alas, Ephron's biting touches here softened considerably with each of her successive films.

Spain has been known for being the country that dubs movies best in Europe. The Spanish title for this movie just couldn't be better: "Se acabo el pastel" ("No More Cake Left"). If you see the movie (especially its ending), you'll understand why!!
