[.ca] Seems Like Old Times (Widescreen/Full Screen)

From Amazon.com:
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 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

You're gonna get "mono"...:
Wow, what is up with the sound not being remastered? Thats a given these days. The soundtrack sounds as though it was recorded in a bathroom... of a bunker... one mile below sea level... with my old radioshaq tapedeck. Ok, maybe it ain't that bad, but it does have a very "small" sound. Aside from that, the picture transfer is quite good. As for the movie itself, my memory of it was kinder. The movie is in high-gear as long as Chevy is on screen, take him out and what you are left with are a lot of wisecracks that could have used laughtracks, then someone would at least be laughing. Let me conclude this by saying, the soundtrack itself stands up well for a 1980 movie but the technology of the time hinders it greatly.

Very Charming But I Think Foul Play Should Be on DVD Too!:
Seems Like Old Times is a cute movie, it's quite funny and stars Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn from Foul Play. It is a modern screwball comedy about a man played by Chevy Chase who gets mixed up in a robbery and tries to get his ex wife played by Goldie Hawn who is a lawyer to help him and he winds up hiding in her and her stuffy new husband's (Charles Grodin) house. Besides Chase, Hawn and Groden, I also liked Yvonne Wilder, the actress who played the housekeeper, she was great! I'm happy this is available on DVD and I will be buying it but I wonder why this is available on DVD and Foul Play isn't. Foul Play was their first movie together and was an even bigger hit in the box office, but anyway I highly recommend the very charming Seems Like Old Times and hope that the even more charming Foul Play becomes available on DVD Too!

Classic!:
C'mon you gotta love 'em! Chevy and Goldie in their heyday. (The only thing that has always bothered me about this movie is the obviously fake cow at the end!) Neil Simon rocks!

A classic Hawn-Chase comedy flick...:
Goldie Hawn & Chevy Chase who previously were together in "Foul Play" reunite again in this classic Neil Simon movie "Seems Like Old Times". Chase gets mixed up in a robbery gone wrong and hes no longer wanted by his allegged accompliances and is dumped along side a highway while the car is in motion. Anyway Chase hides out and seeks the help of who else, his ex played by Goldie Hawn. But wait! Hawn is happily married to Charles Grodin who happens to pratice law cause Chase is wanted by the law. A lot of complications arise and Chase who is innocent needs Hawn's help very bad to clear his name.

A Can't Miss Comedy!:
This has always been one of my favorites! If you're a Neil Simon fan, it's one of his best! A combo of slapstick and witty puns..."She's not outside eating chicken, that's for sure!"
