Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

CookieInvent There's a good chance the film will make you laugh out loud, but if it doesn't, there's an even better chance it will make you openly sob.

Matt Greene Apparently I need a LOT more Neil Simon in my life. His warm, snarky humor is just what I have always loved in the most classic romantic comedies; in fact, if this was shot in black and white, it would sit right along the best of the Hepburn and Grant era 40's screwballs. Yet even if you're just a fan of Chase's Fletch-like stylings, this will scratch that same itch, all while being sweeter.

SnoopyStyle Writer Nicholas Gardenia (Chevy Chase) is kidnapped by two guys and forced to rob a bank. Ira Parks (Charles Grodin) is the district attorney and he's looking to be the new attorney general. He's also married to bleeding heart defense attorney Glenda (Goldie Hawn) who happens to be Nick's ex-wife. Previously Nick had gone to Mexico to write about illegal immigrants and ended up being imprisoned for two years in a smuggling incident. In desperation, he goes to her for help.It's a screw ball comedy written by Neil Simon. Director Jay Sandrich does mostly TV and that's the predominate feel of this movie. Chevy is his sly comic self and gets a few chuckles. However the laughs are not big enough or sustained enough. Goldie is very winning and Charles Grodin gets to yell at the dogs. The continuous rotation of the three characters as lead does take away from the flow and the tension.

blanche-2 Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase reunite for "Seems Like Old Times," a 1980 Neil Simon comedy that borrows heavily from the Cary Grant-Jean Arthur "Talk of the Town." Hawn is an attorney and ex-wife of Chase, and she's now married to DA Charles Grodin, who's about to be made Attorney General of the state. Chase is forced to take part in a robbery and is on the lam and shows up at her house and several inopportune moments - like when she's entertaining the governor. She feels compelled to help him, but there's nothing unusual there - she has stray dogs, cats, and paroled defendants overrunning her house.The actors are excellent, as is the funny supporting cast, and there are some hilarious scenes as Chase hides out in a room above the garage and, while under the bed, his hand extending a little, Grodin stands on his finger as he argues with Hawn.What bothers me about this comedy is that there aren't any around like this anymore. The "comedy" today aims at the lowest common denominator - Woody Allen uses the term "crass" to describe them - and for someone of my generation, what passes as comedy today just isn't funny. Today these situational comedies are written off for some reason in favor of stupidity. I don't get it. I lament the days of "Arthur," where you missed some of the jokes in the theater because the audience was laughing so hard, "Night Shift," and "Seems Like Old Times."

toddrandall68 I have loved this movie since I saw it in the early 80s when I was in Junior High. For 25 years I have liked to quoted this movie. Every actor was wonderful, and I find it difficult to pick one out as the best. T.K. Carter did such a great job, and he developed his character the best, I thought, as "Chester" the klepto-chaeuffer. When "Glenda" told "Nick" to give himself up, she said "If you're innocent they will never send you to jail." Nick responds by asking "Chester" if thats how it works, "Chester" responds, "Not in my neighborhood." Charles Grodin was great as "Glenda's" husband "Ira." I also wasn't that impressed with the scene in the guest room with Chase under the bed while Grodin was sitting on it. I loved that line, however, by Grodin where he said, "oh, he was limping. Then of course he's innocent, limper's never lie, limper's are famous for telling the truth." I highly recommend this. Your time wont be wasted.Just remembered that part with chevy chase "holding up" the gas station. After he remembers he has a gun he makes the attendent break into the candy machine for him. the attendant asks "uh, how about zagnut?" The gas station attendant says "we don't keep cash at night, only credit cards." and then he says
