Plot: Though she always played coy about the fact in interviews, Nora Ephron's novel Heartburn is a thinly disguised a clef rehash of her marriage to {~Washington Post} reporter Carl Bernstein. Meryl Streep plays Rachel, an influential food critic who marries charismatic columnist Mark (Jack Nicholson) after a whirlwind courtship. Warned that Mark is constitutionally incapable of settling down with any one woman, Rachel gives up her own job to make certain that her marriage works. When Rachel announces that she's pregnant, Mark virtually jumps out of his skin with delight. But as the news sinks in, Mark chafes at the impending responsibilities of fatherhood, and the philandering begins-- as if it had ever really stopped! Our favorite scene: Rachel and her friends being robbed at her therapy group. That's Meryl Streep's real-life daughter playing Rachel's offspring. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

I enjoy an extensive list of dvd's. I rate "Heartburn" in the top 5 of my favorites. In a word, this movie is EXCELLENT. It will be viewed by me again and again. The performance of the little girl singing towards the end, and Streep's command of this scene, is absolutely brilliant.

This is a movie I can watch over and over and still get a great pleasure in seeing like new each time. The irony, the sarcasm, the joy, the anger or relationships is all there by two of the best actors in the business - Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson. Truely a place we have all been at some time with a relationship, Ms. Ephron's book is carried out without apology as the characters go through all the phases of love and despair. And watch for the a very young Kevin Spacey as a punked-out robber.

Still stinks, plus it's pointless

Other than as Nora Ephron's vengeance against the philandering Carl Bernstein, this movie makes absolutely no sense. There is no plot, per se. They get married, he cheats, they break up. So? If this is supposed to be a comedy, it's not funny. Nicholson is wasted, and so is Meryl Streep. Critics savaged this when it came out. They were correct.

Heart Burn
Streep and Nicolson did a great job teaming up for this movie. Loved the romance and heartache that so many people experience these days in this story. Very entertaining and is a tear jerker.
