Porter Stoddard (Warren Beatty) is a well-known New York architect who is at a crossroads; a nexus where twists and turns lead to a myriad of missteps -- some with his wife Ellie (Diane Keaton), others with longtime friends Mona (Goldie Hawn) and her husband Griffin (Garry Shandling). Deciding which direction to take often leads to unexpected encounters with hilarious consequences in this comedy about life, love, friendship and the sometimes blistering nature of marital bliss.

Critics Consensus

Afflicted with extensive re-editing and re-writing, this sex comedy feels confusingly choppy. Also, the main characters are so wealthy and privileged that it's difficult to feel sympathy for their problems.

Enjoyable but ultimately mystifying.

Despite what you may have heard, the long delayed (and reported $90 million) Town & Country is not the train wreck it has been made out to be.

An antediluvian portrayal of male midlife crisis, reducing any imaginable extramarital complication to a crass matter of gender warfare.

A film of low expectations, Town & Country feels like the kind of calculated, lifeless product written by jaded Hollywood hacks in response to what they think middle-America might want.

Here is such a colossally bad film that there is little wonder in how it failed so catastrophically in the public eye.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

I was really hoping to like this movie and stuck with it until the end, which was just as flat as the journey getting there. I wish I had thought to organize my sock drawer while the movie was running, because then it wouldn't have been a complete waste of time. The logline says the main character is at a crossroads, but the movie never shows it. Instead, there’s no character arc, no clear motives, no story arc—barely even a story. Just a mishmash of misadventures with no relatable characters. In fact, some characters don’t seem to have a purpose at all.

Not quite girly junk, but near enough.

An actual picture for just the wealth seeing their reflections in satirical authentic portrayal, while other perceptions can confirm how pettily pessimistic and frivolously aimless, as well as blandly intolerable, this disastrously-produced "comedy" turned out to be into nothingness. (C-)

This movie seemed to have a decent premise and seemed to be building up to something, but just went nowhere. It was confused and rambling and very anticliamtic. Basically, it was hugely disappointing.
