Movie Reviews of Seems Like Old Times
Movie Review: Highly Overrated
Summary: 3 Stars
I don't always go along with the Amazon review, but in this case it's dead on. With all the 5 star reviews on this listing I was expecting a little bit more. I love Chevy, Goldie and Charles Grodin as well, but this movie is a bit tepid the first good hour and only managed to arouse continued interest towards the last half hour.. I'd say rent it (wishing I had), and if that doesn't sate your appetite for the movie then buy it. Neil Simon has often been hit and miss for me.. the screen play in this one is, as the Amazon review puts it, "forgettable". It's better moments include slapstick farce, the storyline isn't that clever (not to mention beleivable) and it's stars are the main thing holding it up - they do a good job, but there's only so much you can do with a lackluster script. In a nutshell, it's more yawns than laughs. Not awful, but not great either. 3.5 stars.. 4 at most.
Summary of Seems Like Old Times
Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 05/13/2008 Run time: 102 minutes Rating: PgAn 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
