Synopsis
Based on a novel by Ronaldo Young. "In the age of free love, everything has a price."

"A tear-jerky. Pseudo-feminist melodrama about “ordinary people’ (i.e. bored rich socialites in Liberty City) having cowardly affairs, doing coke in disco boots, getting divorced and fighting for custody of their over-privileged, one-dimensional children in the 1970s. "An American Divorce" won lots of awards because it captured the Zeitgeist of a decade that completely threw in the towel on moral responsibility and musical taste. After an hour and a half of watching upper-middleclass white people with enormous afros weep in Algonquin cafes and spurting mawkish dialogue like "But my kids are my life!" and "It’s time I did something for myself!", the inevitable happy ending can't come fast enough. We won’t ruin it for you, but everyone dies, thank God."

Trivia

 * In the mission Legal Trouble, Solomon Richards uses a quote from the movie when he calls Michael after the end of the mission. The quote is: "I love you once Tony, but there's nothing between us. Now that I know you prefer dictation."
 * This is the favorite movie of the tour guide of the Vinewood Star Tours, she says that this movie helped her while she was bankrupting her first husband.
 * The dollar on the film's poster still has the actual "L" Mint Mark designation with the text (in slightly low resolution) "". This is a similar situation to Vice City and Miami, whereby San Fierro and may co-exist in-universe.
