In addition to declaring that Katharine's (Lynn Redgrave) head and heart line are hopelessly fused into one "simian line", eccentric palm reader/fortune-teller Arnita (Tyne Daly) makes a dire prediction: By the end of the year, one of the couples present at a Halloween party will have broken up. But will it be Katharine and her much-younger boyfriend Rick (Harry Connick Jr.); her upstairs tenants Marta and Billy or new yuppie neighbors Sandra (Cindy Crawford) and Paul? Fueled by Arnita's prediction, each of the couples begins to drift apart in a sea of doubt and distrust. Can the "divine" intervention of two well-meaning ghosts (William Hurt and Samantha Mathis) keep these earthly conflicts from erupting into multiple self-fulfilling prophecies?
Leave your thoughts about The Simian Line.
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA low-key entertaining comedy about four couples who fear losing their partners to others. |
| VarietyLael LoewensteinThough picture is at times undermined by a lack of unifying perspective, its glimmers of greatness are a testament to the talent involved. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThese formidable actresses [Redgrave and Daly], abetted by a persuasive Connick, and by Hurt as the most genteel and benevolent of ghosts, set a high standard for a splendid ensemble cast. |
| L.A. WeeklyF. X. FeeneyThe interactions between the realms of the magical and the everyday are carried off with an easygoing charm. |
| Film Journal InternationalBruce FeldIt is like an anthology that offers only one story that clicks. |
| New York PostJonathan ForemanOne of those exercises in romantic whimsy that misses its mark: It's alternately sappy and uncomfortably harsh. |
| Film ThreatMichael DequinaGiven how much Yellen does right, it's all the more shameful that she so spectacularly sinks her film in the foot with one hugely questionable "creative" decision: adding a pair of ghosts into the mix. |
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardThe acting runs the gamut, with Daly and Redgrave at the top and a few characters looking as if they wandered onto the wrong movie set. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxSurprisingly, some of the best moments come from supermodel Crawford and singer Connick, two acting tyros not generally known for their dramatic skills. |
| Village VoiceWendy LeeThe film tries hard to avoid cliché but doesn't get very far. |
