Written, directed and starring Alan Alda, The Four Seasons follows the three middle-aged married couples whose mutual relationship with each other gets complicated after one of them divorces, putting them all into a position where the old chemistry seems to be gone for good.

Some of the qualities in their friendship seems real, genuine and relatable which many other aspects feel contrived. Especially the moments where they all follow the lead by Alda and engage into big belly laugh (as stated in the manuscript) feel woefully artificial.

The Four Seasons is a harmless little excercise that has some good bits going for it, but ultimately tries to muscle in too many events, people and aspects for the movie’s own good.
