Alcoholism and drug addiction mar the outwardly perfect lives of a young, successful married couple in this wrenching drama. Michael and Alice seem to have it all. They have a cozy home in San Francisco, two lovely daughters, and secure careers. He is an airline pilot and she a school guidance counselor. That their happiness is a facade is quickly made apparent. It seems Alice must drink to feel comfortable in social situations. After an almost fatal boating accident, she promises to lay off the booze. Instead she begins drinking on the sly until she has an accident in the shower that causes her husband to send her to a detox center. Alice does not struggle alone. Michael too has things he must face up to. Though outwardly supportive, he has a darker side and does much harm to his wife.

My comment:
This movie is my first recommendation. Since most Andy fans have watched this movie, I don't say anything here. If you haven't seen this movie, go to buy it. This is a great movie and is worth to be collected.
