Plot
Comedy takes a ribald yet compassionate look at two lovelorn fifty-something New Yorkers. Christopher (Jeffrey Tambor) is an exterminator-cum-jazz musician who, after years of one-night stands, begins to question his sexual orientation. Grace (Jill Clayburgh) is a divorcee looking to jump-start her life again. When a blind date for Grace goes bad, she ducks into a gay bar—and meets Christopher. The circumstances are so wrong that the two are immediately drawn to each other.
Reception
Never Again received negative reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 31%, based on 61 reviews, with a rating of 4.4/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "The performances are excellent, but much of the story rings false."[2]
