Big Business / Scenes From a Mall

Big Business (1988)

A maternity ward mix-up sent mismatched twins (Bette Midler, Lily Tomlin) home to the wealthy Sheltons...and their siblings (Midler again, Tomlin again) to the dirt-poor Ratliffs. Forty years later, with their town factory about to be bought out and closed down by the Sheltons' company, the Ratliff ladies head to Manhattan for a protest--and a head-on comic confrontation with their real sisters! Fast-paced farce also stars Edward Herrmann, Fred Ward, Michael Gross, Barry Primus. 97 min. C/Rtg: PG

Scenes From A Mall (1991)

On their 16th wedding anniversary, pop psychologist Deborah Fifer (Midler) and her sports attorney husband Nick (Woody Allen) take a trip through a Beverly Hills mall, and find something they didn't bargain for: the discovery that their relationship isn't as solid as they thought. Paul Mazursky's insightful, funny look at the state of marriage in the '90s co-stars Bill Irwin, Fabio, and Kamarr, the discount magician. 94 min. C/Rtg: R
