The 1984 romance is a case of deja vu for veteran actors Streep and Robert De Niro. The two also starred together in 1978’s The Deer Hunter, and reunited later in the 1996 film Marvin’s Room. Streep had just made Silkwood and Sophie’s Choice, and De Niro had just finished Raging Bull and Once Upon a Time in America. So, it’s little wonder that these two needed a break — teaming together for a charming but slight love story about two friendly married people who become best friends and then, well…read the title. Regardless of these two incredible actors, the film itself is instantly forgettable.
