Movie #504 "Divorce American Style" was a disappointment back in 1967 and it remains one to this day. Such capable people working in the movie and on it, that you would think it would be better, but it isn't. Yep, it is dark, but it really isn't a comedy --- maybe divorce isn't that funny? watching people argue isn't funny? Yep, that could be it! I'm glad I watched it again as an adult --- found it to still not be a successful movie most of the time.
I rated this 3 stars out of 5
