Seems Like Old Times Best Review

This is a 1980 screwball comedy about a fugitive (Chevy Chase) who hides out on the property of his ex (Goldie Hawn) and her unknowing D.A. husband (Charles Grodin). I thought I wouldn't like it. Chevy Chase irritates me and I didn't much care for Foul Play, another comedy with the exact same leads. In that one, chase and Goldie were running around trying to prevent someone from shooting the Pope. They were clearly brought together again to replicate that "success", but this movie is alright.

I think it's because Chase doesn't really have a character. He's just a walking tornado of chaos which people have to react to. Goldie Hawn traded him in for the successful-if-bland attorney, but it's hinted she belongs with Chevy after all since she's one banana short of a fruit salad, herself. Grodin does his usual schtick of whining and grumbling. It's a simple formula but funny. And I'm a crabby individual, so if this movie made me smile, it should have you rolling on the floor.

I kind of have a fondness for electric 70s cheese. So naturally Marvin Hamlisch in my rolodex of awesome.

Seems Like Old Times Specifications

An original Neil Simon screenplay makes Seems Like Old Times rise above what would otherwise be a forgettable comedy love triangle. Goldie Hawn (Private Benjamin) plays a good-hearted defense lawyer married to Ira, a politically ambitious district attorney played by Charles Grodin (Midnight Run). The craziness of their everyday lives becomes even more ridiculous when ex-husband Chevy Chase is framed for a bank robbery and seeks refuge with the woman he could never get over. Hawn hides the love of her life under her husband's nose as Chase tries to clear his name. Hawn tries to protect him and Grodin just tries to keep from going insane. A slapstick romance that's very often hit-and-miss, the dialogue saves this comic farce and provides wonderful moments between the three stars. Seems Like Old Times also has going for it winning supporting players and some half a dozen drooling, unruly dogs. --Robert Lane

Great LIGHT humor! - W. LeBlanc -
Take some time to treat yourself to the great comedic timing of Chase and Hawn. A nice light comedy to get you through the hot summer months!



Romance and Laughs galore. - william bissell -
I love this movie. I have watched it 20 times and never get tired of it. Chevy and Goldie were made for each other. Even Charles Grodin is perfect for the part. This is Neil Simons' best romantic comedy ever written, in my opinion.
I cry a little, between laughs, each time I view it.
