Synopsis
On the occasion of his 50th birthday, blue-collar family man
Gene Hackman is possessed by our old friend, The Mid-Life
Crisis. Visiting a local tavern, Hackman becomes enchanted
by gorgeous barmaid Ann-Margret. In less time than it takes
to down his beer, he has resolved to leave his wife Ellen Burstyn,
and his daughters Ally Sheedy and Amy Madigan, in favor of a
fresh start with his sexy new "conquest." The film deals not so
much with Hackman's impulsive decision as with the genuine pain
he leaves in his wake. Madigan's vituperative lash-out at her father
is one of many heartbreaking moments of truth in this refreshingly
cliché-free domestic drama. The perceptive screenplay for Twice
in a Lifetime was written by Colin Welland; the film's theme music
was composed by Paul McCartney. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
