Plot: Middle-aged angst is the catalyst for this drama about an older married couple who join up with younger partners. When Karen Evans (Shirley MacLaine) discovers that her husband Adam (Anthony Hopkins) has been dallying around with young co-ed Lindsey Rutledge (Bo Derek), she is furious. She fights back by starting up an affair with young Pete Lachapelle (Michael Brandon) and pretending to tolerate her husband's pecadillos. Adam is selfish and arrogant, a typical college professor stereotype. The odd couples decide to take off for a skiing holiday in Vermont during which their relationships will be tested. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

I like this movie because I saw it with a great girlfriend when I was a teenager & it had great shots of Bo Derek - and snow skiing. Anthony Hopkins is a college professor who is having an affair with Bo Derek - and when Hopkins' wife, played by Shirley McLain finds out, she begins to have an affair of her own - which Hopkins has problems handling. It's an older film, but if you have some extra time, it's worth watching.

The movie was not as good as I remembered it, when I view it long ago.

I'd seen this at the cinema when it first came out. I was twelve & it brings back good memories. A cute comedy in which a middle-aged college professor, Adam Evans (Anthony Hopkins) has an affair with one of his students (Bo Derek). Shirley MacLaine portrays Hopkins wife who starts an affair of her own with a younger man. Thoroughly enjoyable film.

A Change of Seasons is also presented in Widescreen format on this DVD, which is a bonus, as is the original theatrical trailer featured!

Bo Derek was Fantastic
Added 2/1/2009

This picture opened in theaters on December 1 1980 starring Shirley MacLane as Karin Evans, Anthony Hopkins as Adam Evans and the young and gorgeous Bo Derek as Lindsay Rutledge. This movie was about Adam Evans who's a professor at the local college is over 40 years old and has had affairs with some of his students. Along comes Lindsay Rutledge who's one off Evans students and the one he's having an affair with now. One night at a friends house the subject of affair came between Adam, Karin and there friends. The subject didn't bother there friends but it bother Karin. So on there way home Karin asked Adam if he indeed was having an affair and he said yes. Adam and Karin have been married for some 21 years and to Karin that means something, but to Adam it really means nothing. Karin stayed home raised the children and kept his house clean and washed his clothes which in these times it hard to find a good woman that would do all those things. Adam is planning to take a trip to Montreal and Karin tells Adam she wants to go and he tells her not this time. Instead of taking Karin, Adam takes Lindsay instead. While Adam is in Montreal, Karin is home by herself when she hears noises coming from the kitchen. So she goes down to investigate and finds a strange man in her kitchen feeding birds a peanut butter sandwich. The young mans named is Pete and his there to build a book shelf for Adam Evans. When questioned by Karin, Pete pulls out a slip of paper to show Karin that work is for real. Karin said okay and tells Pete that she's going to bed and then she asks Pete if he wants to come along. When Adam comes back from Montreal and walks into his house it looks like a storm hit and that's not all he found. Does Adam go with Lindsay or is she just a fling? What else did Adam find in his house? What does Karin do to Adam if anything? I love this movie because it just goes to show you that men can be real ***holes. Adam had a great home life, a great job and a beautiful wife but that wasn't enough. He wants more and he got more and Adam got what he deserved. As far as Bo Derek, she was fantastic. The way she started the film by coming up out of that water was beautiful. The shower scene was even better and I especially liked her part in the ending. I no some people didn't give this movie very go rating, however despite there review I give this movie 10 weasel stars for Bo Derek acting and beauty.

Do not see this film.

The Plot: Boring college professor Anthony Hopkins cheats on his wife Shirley MacLaine with his student Bo Derek. OK this makes sense.

MacLaine spontaneously enacts revenge by sleeping with the handyman whom she's known for literally 30 seconds.

As if things could not get any worse the FOUR of them decide to spend Christmas together at a ski lodge. Things becomes further complicated when their 20 year old daughter unexpectedly drops in with her fiancée. Now add Derek's father. All SEVEN of these characters sleeping under the same roof is pure hell.

While a plot this wacky sounds like a comedy, it's not! Nothing funny or entertaining happens at all. The opening credit sequence is of Derek in a hot tub is not worth the 90 minutes of pure agony that follows.

I have no idea who the hell thought this or any other "open relationship" movie would be funny but they made the right move by casting Bo Derek. I suspect many others have fallen for this trap. Do not make the same mistake!!! Stay Away!!!
