Rita Rudner was both co-writer and co-star of this multi-plotted romantic comedy, set in a bed and breakfast in the middle of Southern California's wine country. In the course of the film's 90 minutes, a number of curiously matched couples will find true romance -- and sometimes even true happiness. Standout performances amongst the star-studded cast include Rita Rudner's turn as a pregnant food critic, Jack Lemmon as a desperate concert promoter, and Dudley Moore as a lonely vintner. Made for cable television, A Weekend in the Country debuted June 12, 1996, on the USA network; a mildly R-rated version was later prepared for home video release. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In a city built on bombast and boobs, Rita Rudner is what you might call successful counter-programming. Rudner’s shtick is her brilliant observations on couples and their foibles, delivered with that cutesy lilt of a voice. Without a doubt, she’s a scream. But she’s nothing cutting edge or shocking. And that’s her charm.
