Charles Grodin, Chevy Chase, George Grizzard

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 de...( read more  read more... )fense 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

    I love Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase together. Chevy in this film is on the run from the police and hiding at his ex-wives home. All I have to say is Goldie's home in this film is crowded with dogs and many friends...check this funny movie out.

    Not a sequel to "Foul Play"! There's little mystery here with Chevy Chase as a fugitive hiding at his ex-wife Goldie Hawn's house. Charles Grodin plays her new husband. Flat. No Foul Play here.

    'Seems Like Old Times' And Like Old Screwball Comedies

    Lots better than the Chevy Chase-Goldie Hawn pairing in Foul Play, maybe that's because Neil Simon wrote (and directed) this one. Chevy is typically wisecracking but strangely reserved, especially for a screwball comedy.

    One of the movies that I actually forgot I had. Haven't watched in many years, but it's still just as funny. Makes it strange to remember that there was a time when Chevy Chase was funny. Great comedic timing and chemistry between Chase, Goldie Hawn, and Charles Grodin. It's a mo...( read more)vie that would never get made today because it's too clean.

    Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase are perfect together.

    Goldie Hawn & Chevy Chase at their finest. Pure comic genius. Love every moment of it.

    This reminds me of the old 40s movies where the married couple would always get back together after a crazy adventure.

    The best movie that paired both Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase. Very entertaining and I've probably watched it 10 or more times over the last 20 something years, and each time I stay tuned, Very entertaining and the fun cute Goldie Hawn I remember

    This movie was really cute and funny. Saw it on TV one night just flipping the channels and watched it, and I enjoyed it!
