Profile of The Out-of-Towners

The Out-of-Towners can be described as humorous, witty, and feel good. The plot revolves around a midlife crisis, a "fish out of water", and a situation where nothing goes right. Its comic aspect comes from dark humor. The Out-of-Towners's main genre is comedy. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. It is set, at least in part, in an urban environment. The Out-of-Towners is located in New York. It takes place in the 1990s. It is a remake. The Out-of-Towners is well suited for a date night.

Summary of The Out-of-Towners

With the children out of the house, Henry (Steve Martin) and Nancy Clark (Goldie Hawn) head to New York City to embrace their cosmopolitan dreams. Henry has set up a job interview with an advertising firm, and Nancy hopes to add some spice to their marriage.

Critics Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle
The movie is a mess of bits and pieces that try to gel but don't. Still, it is stupidly fun.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Strictly a middle-aged comedy, which consists of more easy lobs than sharp smacks, but manages to get the job done.
