The Four Seasons (1981)

Written by: Alan Alda
Starring: Alan Alda, Carol Burnett, Len Cariou, Sandy Dennis, Rita Moreno, Jack Weston, Bess Armstrong, Elizabeth Alda, Beatrice Alda
A group of adult friends deal with one couple's divorce throughout the course of a year. Even though the story is routine and the direction pretty stagey, the cast is great. Woody Allen-lite.
B+

Starring: Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor, Jill Clayburgh, Patrick McGoohan, Ned Beatty, Clifton James, Ray Walston, Len Birman, Valerie Curtin, Lucille Benson, Scatman Crothers, Richard Kiel, Fred Willard
A mild mannered man witnesses a murder aboard a train. After getting thrown off by some hoods, he does whatever he can to find the killer, prove he isn't guilty, save the girl and get to Los Angeles. The best parts of the movie feature Wilder and Pryor on screen together. The rest is pretty forgettable. B-

A suburban housewife is exposed to a combination of chemicals that cause her to rapidly shrink. She subsequently becomes a celebrity and her life is changed even more.

A group of drivers for a private ambulance company in LA deal with the competition, day to day excitement and shenanigans, and eachother.
