Critic Reviews

  • Scott Nash, Three Movie Buffs

    Chase, Hawn and Grodin give it their all in Neil Simon's Seems Like Old Times

  • Steve Crum, Kansas City Kansan

    Mildy amusing with Chevy and Goldie in their prime.

  • Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice

    Seems Like Old Times is filled with madcap scenes and zany one-liners.

  • Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

    Mildly diverting romantic comedy that plays like a sitcom.

  • John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis

    No screwball comedy would be complete without a roster of zany supporting characters, and Seems Like Old Times has them aplenty.

    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.

    a funny silly romp of a movie with three pros working at top speed.

  • Lauren D


    It wasn't bad. It was quite funny throughout; not hilarious, but funny enough. My main problem was too much Goldie Hawn and not enough Chevy Chase. This is not just because Hawn is extremely ugly and Chase is not, but it focused too much on her character and her husband rather… More
