- Synopsis:
- Burt Reynolds plays Phil Potter, a low-key, contented magazine writer who tries to put his life back together after his wife Jessica (Candice Bergen) opts for independence as a singer-songwriter. Jill Clayburgh plays the wacky nursery school teacher who tries to help him surmount the emotional hurdles, but it'll be rough going: he's still hung up on his ex-wife. Starting Over is sprinkled with charming comedy, from Bergen's nails-on-a-chalkboard singing style to Reynolds' near-nervous breakdown right in the middle of Bloomingdale's department store.
