Sibling Rivalry

Marjorie Turner (Kirstie Alley) is a neglected wife who, following her sister’s (Jami Gertz) advice, engages in an afternoon fling with a man (Sam Elliott) she meets in a grocery store. Her impromptu tryst leaves her facing two unexpected problems: her lover turns out to be her husband’s (Scott Bakula) brother, and he drops dead from a heart attack. Director Carl Reiner’s slapstick dark comedy also stars Bill Pullman, Ed O’Neill, and Carrie Fisher. 88 min.
