A happily married couple discover their friends are not as happy as they thought, and they begin to wonder how sound their own relationship can be, in this made-for-cable adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by
Donald Margulies.
Gabe (
Dennis Quaid) and
Karen (
Andie MacDowell) are a pair of wedded food writers who more than a decade ago introduced their close friends
Tom (
Greg Kinnear) and
Beth (
Toni Collette).
Tom and
Beth fell in love and got married, but one night as
Gabe and
Karen are making dinner, they receive startling news from
Beth --
Tom has left her for another woman, and the two are filing for divorce.
Gabe and
Karen soon feel as if they are being forced to take sides in the heated battle between
Tom and
Beth, and as the combative couple separates and both parties move on to new relationships,
Gabe and
Karen find themselves taking a long, hard look at their own marriage -- and they're not sure how happy they are with what they find. Directed by
Norman Jewison,
Dinner With Friends was produced for the
HBO premium cable network, where it premiered on August 11, 2001.
