When Jack and Sally announce that they're splitting up, this comes as a shock to their best friends Gabe and Judy. Maybe mostly because they also are drifting apart and are now being made aware of it. So while Jack and Sally try to go on and meet new people, the marriage of Gabe and Judy gets more and more strained, and they begin to find themselves being attracted to other people.

Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Woody Allen's Husbands and Wives is a very fine, sometimes brutal comedy about a small group of contemporary New Yorkers.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
With excellent performances (Davis and Pollack in particular), it's his finest film since Hannah and Her Sisters.

fresh:
It doesn't suffer from the compulsive tidiness of some of Allen's later movies -- the juices are flowing, the hysteria is closer to the surface -- and in this looser, more volatile atmosphere his extraordinary cast gets to soar.
– David Ansen,
Newsweek,

fresh:
Allen's conception of character is as banal and shallow as ever, but the lively performances of some of his actors and the novelty of the film's style make this more watchable than many of his features.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,

fresh:
In all respects, this is a full meal, as it deals with the things of life with intelligence, truthful drama and rueful humor.
