Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Worried about his dry-cleaning business and unduly concerned about hair loss, Thomas finds himself unable to respond sexually to his wife Tess Harper. A shrink's advice that infidelity might buck him up backfires, and soon Harper's gone off with her chiropractor. This black marital comedy is in many ways a conventional, even predictable affair, though it's enlivened by neat one-liners and occasionally transmits a genuine sense of pain, confusion and absurdity. Minor but watchable.Author: GA
