Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn an interview with CrankyCritic.com during the late 1990s, John Travolta said of this film: ""I think I learned 20 years ago when I did Saturday Night Fever (1977) and Grease (1978) and was touted the biggest star in the world; then I did a movie called Moment by Moment (1978) and you'd have thought I'd have sunk the Titanic. I was so mistreated as a result of that film that I can never again take any of it seriously. So I guess I learned that you've got to be tough and expect the worst, but nothing could be worse than that".
- GoofsIn opening credit montage, Trisha is seen strolling through Beverly Hills shopping district carrying a coat and a bag from a boutique; by time movie has started she is still carrying same things, only now she is miles away, outside Schwab's Drugstore in West Hollywood - nowhere within convenient walking distance of Rodeo Drive.

Featured review
an interesting movie
I've read the other comments on this movie and some of you are very cruel and immature. I'm a huge Lily Tomlin fan and will be the first one to say this movie is NOT her best work. However, it is not as horrible as some of you have said. It was 1978. Travolta and Tomlin were both at the peak of their careers. John loved Lily and wanted to do a movie with her. Lily had done two movies previously ( one of which garnered her an OSCAR nomination ) and was given the green light to produce her own movie with Jane Wagner. It was not their best work, but I can see where they both definetely worked hard on their roles. In part this movie was making satiric comments on upper class California values. That's what the reference to the pool filter was for. The husband's concerned more with that, Lily's Trisha is devistated. Her "phone breakdown" scene is very good. To be making fun of Lily or John's physical appearance is a truely sad attempt at reviewing this movie. It is a love story with the sex roles reversed. It was a bold attempt to try a different take the male/female relationship. The dialog is sometimes very dumb but I get what Jane was trying to do. Incidently, Jane Wagner is a brilliant writer who went on to write Lily's critically acclaimed 1 woman show "Search For Signs Of Intelligent Life In The Universe" which won a Tony award on Broadway. Unfortunetly, her 1st attempt at writing a motion picture was not the best vehicle for her talents.
It is a true testiment to the talent of John, Lily and Jane that they each went on to other successes after this movie bombed.
Watch it if you're a fan of John or Lily's or if you like unintended =camp in your movies.
