Beyond Therapy (1987) is an annoyingly quirky comedy about relationships. The main characters are 2 eccentrics played by Jeff Goldblum and Julie Hagerty who meet on a blind date and are also seeing therapists played by Tom Conti and Glenda Jackson for their problems and their therapists are just as eccentric as they are. Good cast with Julie Hagerty being the stand-out, but the movie is very disjointed and mostly unfunny. I can see what Robert Altman was going for, but the result is a complete misfire. 3.5/10 |

Is it really worse than The Company? Goldblum and Haggerty sound like a fun match, at least.

The Player was a lot better. You've seen Beyond Therapy? No, but it's an educated guess. |

No joke I was just talking to my brother about that film just today. What are the odds?
But anyway I agree its a bad film.

Altman made two amazing movies, "Nashville" (in my Top 3) and "McCabe & Mrs. Miller" but then a movie like "Quintet" with Paul Newman.. Interestingly, John Huston said his worst movie (I'd agree) was "The Mackintosh Man" which stars Paul Newman.
