An American Divorce is a classic Vinewood film produced in 1978 by Richards Majestic Productions, starring Jack Moore and Sally Sherman.

Description[]

In Grand Theft Auto V, Michael De Santa is seen to be a fan of the film, as he leaves a review for it on Classicvinewood.com. 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 also 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.

In Grand Theft Auto Online, the An American Divorce T-shirt was available to the players who logged in on February 13, 2016, as part of the Be My Valentine update event. [1]

Influence[]

The film is a parody of the 1979 film Kramer vs. Kramer, which starred Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep and won five Academy Awards.

Synopsis[]

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.
