This long-delayed romantic comedy from director Peter Chelsom stars Warren Beatty as a wealthy New York architect, Porter Stoddard. The revelation that his best friend Griffin (Garry Shandling) is cheating on his wife Mona (Goldie Hawn) leads to a mid-life crisis of sorts for Porter, jeopardizing his marriage to Ellie (Diane Keaton). When Mona leaves Griffin for her family's antebellum home in Mississippi, Porter accompanies her to lend his professional assistance in designing some home improvements and ends up entangled in a romantic assignation with his best friend's estranged wife. He then embarks on a series of other illicit, comical affairs. Among Porter's conquests are a cellist, Alex (Nastassja Kinski), the beautiful Eugenie (Andie MacDowell), and a Halloween reveler named Auburn (Jenna Elfman). He also runs afoul of Eugenie's overprotective father (Charlton Heston), who's armed with a shotgun and disturbingly unable to view his daughter as an adult. Town & Country (2001) is based on a script co-written by Buck Henry. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Warren Beatty, Garry Shandling, and Diane Keaton whoop it up in the quick witted comedy Town and Country. Presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, =Town and Country's transfer looks close to reference quality. New Line has made sure that all aspects of this transfer (including black levels, colors, and flesh tones) are balanced correctly and crystal clear. No signs of edge enhancement are spotted, nor is shimmer or digital artifacting. Audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 (as well as a Dolby Digital 2.0 mix) and sounds excellent. While this is not an effects-heavy movie, the music and dialogue are all clear and free of any distortion or hiss. Overall, both the audio and video portions of this disc are top notch. Also included on this disc are English subtitles. Unfortunately, fans of Town and Country will be disappointed to see that only a theatrical trailer and some cast and crew information is included. However, since this movie bombed upon its theatrical release, the lack of supplements is not surprising. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
