Short Review

Offbeat mellow comedy ...reflects the world weary , bewildered mood of the times. Another Jerry "black comedy "....not bad . His wife sends him on his last vacation as he has gotten a bad medical diagnosis . Was he really sick ? Did his wife simply want him out of her life for a while so she can get together with his doctor ?I'm not 100% clear on the plot line ...but hey it's Jerry . Enjoy.
