Plot summary
Molly de Mora, a graduate student, marries Keith Marks, whose father is a conservative U.S. Senator, at the family's country home. She picks the setting because she does not trust her parents to host the wedding without trouble. Her mother, Lilly Leonard, is a famous actress; her father, Dan de Mora, is a novelist. Their marriage ended more than a decade ago, after Lilly found Dan with Rowena, the woman he then married, and Lilly married Alan, a marriage counselor who had been working with them. At the reception the former spouses argue, then vanish together, leaving Rowena and Alan behind. Molly, whose husband has political ambitions, hires Joey Donna, the photographer who trails her mother, to trace them and head off a scandal.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about That Old Feeling (1997)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Leslie Dixon got the idea in the early 1990s from watching her own divorced parents being friendly to each other, and wrote it for Bette Midler. Midler liked the script but was tied to an exclusive Disney deal, so Dixon waited years for her.
- Once Dennis Farina was cast opposite Bette Midler, Leslie Dixon went back into the script and turned his character into a crime novelist so the part would suit Farina's gruff manner.
