Art imitates life in this romantic comedy, which casts Reynolds and Hawn as a successful Hollywood screenwriting team. Their harmonious working and romantic relationship goes south when they decide to...( read more  read more... ) get married after years of living together. Written by and based on the lives of writers Barry Levinson and Valerie Curtin, the film is a decidedly bittersweet affair: after all, Levinson and Curtin got married, then divorced, just like the characters in the movie. Consequently, there's less real humor than kidding as the relationship develops cracks, chinks, and leaks, before foundering altogether. Still, Reynolds and Hawn have a likable chemistry because neither is trying too hard. Watch for a particularly funny and crass cameo by Ron Silver, as a big-shot director they wind up working for. --Marshall Fine

    It stars two of my favorites - Goldie Hawn and Jessica Tandy as her mother. supporting role. My favorite line was Tandy's, "My God, I've gone blind," when her glasses got fogged up.

    I like Hawn but not enough to live through a whole movie with Burt Reynolds. Awful.
