An absolute waste of time to watch this unfunny, overlong, examination of a day in the lives of 8 people you couldn't possibly care less about. (With one minor exception) 4 stories, each taking place at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Jane Fonda and Alan Alda are a divorced couple fighting over child care (How anyone could have been married to Fonda's character and not strangled her is a mystery) Bill Cosby and Richard Pryor play doctors (and brothers in law) who are on a vacation with their wives. Another waste of time, it's slapstick comedy that is not funny) Walter Matthau is a married man who has a rendezvous with a hooker and must keep his wife from finding out. (Matthau looks terrible and is not funny) and finally Maggie Smith and Michael Caine as an academy award nominee and her gay husband. Smith gives a good performance and won an Oscar, but it's not enough to save this pile of junk.
