Thursdayā€™s Game is a lightweight comedy in some ways, but it is quirky enough to rise above the level of more forgettable network movies. It features Gene Wilder and a competent ensemble cast made up of faces that would later become very familiar in popular tv sitcoms. We watched it recently as part of a Cloris Leachman retrospective. The humor ranges from being fairly subtle to occasional slapstick. The plot focuses mostly on Wilderā€™s character, his employment and marriage ups and downs, with lesser attention paid to Bob Newhartā€™s restless character, who wants out of his marriage. As mentioned above, it is lightweight stuff, but entertaining enough to be worth our time, with a rather sudden and whimsical ending that in a way seemed to suit the story.
