Married To It

VHS, R, 112 minutes, MGM

Cybill Shepherd, Stockard Channing and Mary Stuart Masterson lead an all-star cast in this hilarious and poignant look at marriage through the eyes of three Manhattan couples. When three women take on the task of decorating for a school pageant, they find themselves up to their necks in far more than crepe paper and streamers. Iris Morden (Channing), aging hippie and mother of two, finds that her husband's attentions are drawn to the flashy Claire Laurent. Claire (Shepherd), on the other hand, finds herself competing with an unruly stepdaughter for attention from her husband...and Wall Street wife Nina Bishop (Masterson) wishes she could escape the attention altogether when her husband is accused of insider trading! But as these markedly different women stand tall against crises that threaten their marriages and their lives, they each realize that they like the idea of facing them together...in fact, they're married to it! Co-starring Beau Bridges, Ron Silver and Robert Sean Leonard, "Married To It" turns "touching and credible friendships" (L.A. Weekly) into a richly rewarding entertainment that'll make you laugh, cry -- and laugh some more. 1993, Digital Video Transfer.
