  • Town & Country -- Haphazard bedroom farce in which an unfaithful architect (Warren Beatty) ultimately realizes the one true love of his life is his wife (Diane Keaton), even as his philandering friends (Goldie Hawn and Garry Shandling) also dabble in adultery. Director Peter Chelsom's scrambled comedy cannot escape its weak story line, shoddy editing and lack of narrative continuity while feebly attempting to show the negative effects of infidelity. Extramarital sexual encounters, brief homosexual innuendo and some rough language and profanity. The U.S. Catholic Conference classification is (A-IV) -- adults, with reservations. ( R -- restricted. 2001 (New Line)

    • A-II -- adults and adolescents;
