Storyline

When Jack and Sally announce that they're splitting up, this comes as a shock to their best friends Gabe and Judy. Maybe mostly because they also are drifting apart and are now being made aware of it. So while Jack and Sally try to go on and meet new people, the marriage of Gabe and Judy gets more and more strained, and they begin to find themselves being attracted to other people.

Trivia

Woody Allen wanted to shoot the film in 16mm to give the feel of a documentary to the viewer, but TriStar was against this and made the director shoot in 35mm. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: During Rain's birthday party, after the power goes out, Gabe and Rain are talking in Rain's kitchen. During their conversation, you can hear music from the party in the background. This would be impossible due to the fact that the power had just gone out and there was no indication that there was a live band playing. See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
TV Scientist: [on TV] Einstein was then celebrating, uh, the seventieth birthday anniversary and there was a colloquium given for him. And he said, "God doesn't play dice with the universe".
Gabe: No. He just plays hide-and-seek.
