Married to It is a 1991 film directed by Arthur Hiller starring Beau Bridges, Stockard Channing, Robert Sean Leonard, Mary Stuart Masterson, Cybill Shepherd and Ron Silver. The film is about three New York City couples with disparate careers, ages, and lifestyles who nonetheless bond through their mutual connection to a local private school. As they help to stage a school pageant with a 1960s theme, each couple begins to quarrel and reassess their marriage.
Three couples meet by chance at a private school fundraiser and come together to organize a school pageant while becoming friends. Claire and Leo LaRonde are two fast-talking yuppies, Leo runs a doll-making company, and Claire is a savvy business woman but not a very good maternal figure to Lucy, Leo's daughter from a past marriage. Lucy and Claire have a strained relationship. John and Iris Morden are a pair of worn-out hippies with two preteen sons, John works in welfare while Iris is a housewife who takes up some artsy jobs especially with the school here and there. Nina and Charles (Chuck) Bishop are an earnest and hopeful young couple from Iowa, who are worried about making their young marriage last. Chuck is an ambitious stock broker and Nina a school psychologist at the school where Iris and Leo's kids attend. Although they face a slightly awkward start, together these three couples face various challenges and learn about their marital problems as well as each other.
The film was not well received by critics. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 30% based on 10 reviews.[2]
Film critic Roger Ebert noted, "At one point it seemed destined to go directly to TV and the video stores."[3]
