Based on a 1981 book by Leonard Michaels, focuses on a lawyer (
Richard Jordan) who brings together a singularly dysfunctional group of men in a kind of venting, loquacious therapy session. All that talk brings out the worst in everyone. Cavanaugh (
Roy Scheider) is a retired baseball star whose wife wants to leave him, Harold (
Frank Langella) is an uptight lawyer, Terry (
Treat Williams) is a self-centered doctor, Phillip (
David Dukes) is the stereotypical, irritating college professor, and Solly (
Harvey Keitel) is a blue-collar worker with a warm heart, the closest to normal among the lot. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
