Product Description: Lily is a temperamental movie diva who must make nice with her ex-husband dan just long enought to make it through the wedding of their only daughter. Everyone knows they hate each other so no ones more surprised than they when a knock-down-drag-out fight sparks that old feeling and they head off for a fling. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 01/06/2004 Starring: Bette Midler Paula Marshall Run time: 105 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Carl Reiner
Amazon.com: Carl Reiner made this enjoyable romantic farce about a divorced couple who commence an affair at their daughter's wedding. Reiner lets the idea bounce around the story's setting and characters so that the full comic effect of the illicit relationship can be felt more chaotically, building on its own irony. Bette Midler and Dennis Farina are quite believable and likable as the not-so-estranged-anymore couple, and Paula Marshall is very good as their exasperated daughter. Not a masterpiece, but one of Reiner's best films in years, with a distinctively European flavor to the comedy. The DVD release has a widescreen presentation, production notes, cast and crew bios, theatrical trailer, Dolby sound, optional Spanish and French soundtracks, and optional Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh

I'm still trying to figure out how Bette Midler and Dennis Farina pulled off this movie. They are TOO NATURAL! Did they act this movie, or did they live it? THEY ARE TOO NATURAL!
Movie starts off as a takeoff of the 1996 movie "Everyone Says I Love You" where lead actor Edward Norton puts an engagement ring in girlfriend Drew Barrymore's dessert in a surprise proposal, she swallows it without realizing it and after a scene in the restaurant where she tries to bring it back up, they end up in the GI Lab at the hospital where the ring shows up on X-ray film digested into her intestine! In "That Old Feeling," second lead Jamie Denton puts an engagment ring in girlfriend Paula Marshall's dessert in the same surprise proposal, but when a waiter pops the cork out of a champagne bottle at the next table, her startlement causes her to choke on the ring, which necessitates a waiter rushing over to give ...

This is really a sleeper of a movie with great people in it. I was glad to find the DVD and will play if often
Rating: - Fun!
I accidentally found this movie when trying to find something that was just fun and not a slasher type show. I just wanted somewhere to relax my mind and still be amused. If you want just fun with a few twists and don't mind mild adult situations then you should see this one. I wouldn't let small children or kids that don't understand sexual situations view this film w/out seeing it first. There is no blatant sex scenes just implied ones. Worst is seeing a man without a shirt and a woman without clothes but all covered up in bed is the most adult of it all. Just complete fun with great actors doing what they do best....enterain people.
Rating: - Cracked me up...
I enjoyed the characters, & certain parts made me laugh very hard -- in particular the therapist character.
Topics that are (presumably) taken lightly here are marriage and infidelity, with the understanding that "what goes around comes around"...
Spoiler: it does have a happy ending -- unconventionally so, but you expect that with Bette in it. Yay! And I liked that too...
