"Alec Baldwin has a fertility problem, and Meryl Streep is discussing her bikini wax, when she's not discussing her preferences related to semen. There, have I told you enough for your mind to wrap imaginary yellow police tape around this movie yet?

With a soundtrack that suggests Herb Alpert, no tune fresher than Meryl's oldest wrinkle, and stars that remind us of the forbidden love that might have sprung between Walter Matthau and Jessica Tandy, this could only be less pleasant if it included a scene where Alec dances around in his underwear.

Well, guess what?

Yep.

I'd like to tell you that none of these characters appears without his shirt off, but sadly, the sight of Alec Baldwin topless is enough to bring out the crosses, the wooden stakes, the wreaths of garlic, and this call from the peanut gallery: 'The power of Christ compels you!'"
