Diary of a Mad Housewife

Tina Balser (Carrie Snodgrass) is the New York City housewife being driven crazy by her arrogant attorney husband Jonathan (Richard Benjamin) and their two spoiled daughters Sylvie (Lorraine Cullen) and Liz (Frannie Michel). Jonathan relentlessly pursues financial success, causing Tina to have an illicit affair with George (Frank Langella), a self centered jerk like her husband who only has affairs with married women to avoid commitment. She dumps both men and enters group therapy, but she fails to find emotional peace in that setting as well. The Alice Cooper Band, the original glam rockers, appear in this film. Carrie Snodgrass received an Academy Award nomination for her performance in the film that targeted the sympathies of distraught distaffs.
