About this Event
“My marriage to him was as willful an act as I have ever committed; I married him against all the evidence. I married him believing that marriage doesn't work, that love dies, that passion fades, and in so doing I became the kind of romantic only a cynic is truly capable of being.”
-Nora Ephron, Heartburn
THIS JUNE: We’re starting the summer with an equal dose of heartache and hilarity as we celebrate the cynicism at the heart of all romance. Join us as we laugh our way through love lost with seven rom-coms in reverse! The Paradise Presents: BREAKING UP… (is hard to do).
THEY'VE GOT EVERYTHING ... INCLUDING A 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO'S SUING THEM FOR DIVORCE. In part 2 of our ripped from the Hollywood gossip headlines double-feature, we're screening an underseen Meyers/Shyer classic. A thinly veiled depiction of the relationship between filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich and his first wife/producing partner Polly Platt, The Paradise Presents Ryan O'Neal, Shelley Long, and Drew Barrymore in 1984's IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES.
Albert Brodsky (Ryan O'Neal) and his wife, Lucy (Shelley Long), are both highly successful in their fields. While Albert has a thriving career as a filmmaker, Lucy is a well-received writer, but their occupations keep them away from each other and their young daughter, Casey (Drew Barrymore). When Casey has had enough of her parents' strained relationship, she decides to sue them for divorce. After Casey's cause gets media attention, the family is forced to reassess their life together.
