A successful advertising executive, David Basner, is working on a project that could make him partner at his company. When his parents suddenly end their 36-year marriage, he is thrown into the role of caregiver, dealing with his delicate mother, Lorraine, and his combative father, Max, who provides constant aggravation and bitter remarks. When one of his parents gets sick, David must choose what is more important, his family or his career.

Nothing in Common is one of those movies where the whole is unequal to the parts.

"Nothing in Common" is unnecessarily long, and it constantly bogs down in overwrought scenes...

A gem - I thought Eve St. Marie, Tom Hanks, Jackie Gleason were mesmerizing, and I also really enjoyed Hector Elizondo in his role.

In my honest opinion, this film was quite amusing and I just loved the performances in this film and this film was a good way for Jackie Gleason to end his career.
