Movie Reviews of The Goodbye Girl

Movie Review: the goodbye girl
Summary: 5 Stars

A wonderful gentle love story about two very unlikely people falling for each other.

This was great when I first saw it years ago in the theatre and still a favorite today.

What's great about this movie is that it's just about two ordinary people trying hard to make it through life.

Unlike most movies today with incredibly "beautiful people" super model good looks Richard Dreyfus and Marsha Mason could be our neighbors or just someone we know.

Makes you believe in love.

Summary of The Goodbye Girl

A divorced woman and her daughter come home to find that her boyfriend has left for an out of town job with no warning. This has happened before. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/19/2000 Starring: Marsha Mason Paul Benedict Run time: 110 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Herbert Ross
The Goodbye Girl is a bittersweet comedy about relationships and taking chances. Though it deals with the human condition, what most quickly comes to mind are those wickedly comedic scenes featuring Richard Dreyfuss in an Oscar-winning role. He plays a struggling actor with a sharp tongue who has sublet an apartment from single mom Marcia Mason, a divorc?e with horrific taste in men, who are always running out on her. She is left high and dry once more, stuck sharing her apartment with Dreyfuss when he hasn't the heart to enforce his lease and toss out mother and daughter.

Neil Simon's play shines under the direction of Herbert Ross as these two mismatched people find their contempt changing into mutual admiration. Quinn Cummings is more interesting than most precocious child stars; she seems brighter and her manner is prickly instead of cloying. Watch this film just for the scene in which Dreyfuss plays Richard III in an off-off-Broadway play. He lisps, he limps, he screams. It is the worst theater you will ever see--and thoroughly hilarious. --Rochelle O'Gorman
