Kindhearted lawyer Glenda's (Goldie Hawn) desire to lend a helping hand is evident in the number of stray dogs she has taken in. Her husband Ira (Charles Grodin) is a stuffy district attorney with designs on political office. When her ex-husband Nick (Chevy Chase), a writer who has been forced to rob a bank, shows up on her doorstep seeking refuge from the authorities, she takes him in--spurring a serious of painfully comedic situations as she attempts to keep him hidden from uptight Ira. Razor sharp timing from a trio of comedic heavyweights propels this descendent of 1930s screwball romantic comedies from Neil Simon.

This movie is non-stop laughs. One of Neil Simon's lesser known works, it is a definite vehicle for Goldie Hawn, Chevy Chase and Charles Grodin's talents for comedy. Impeccable timing and sharp dialogue make this film a must own! My family and I have been quoting this movie since it came out. It can't be topped and remains one of my top ten favorite films of all time. Great performances, sparkling chemistry and romance, wonderful writing, the film begs for repeat viewings, each time bringing more and more laughs. BUY THIS FILM! "Anyone who forces me to cook Chicken Pepperoni is making me crazy; and YOU are making me crazy!" "I'm not making her crazy."
The plot had a bit of silliness that was distracting. However, the comedians were great in their roles, and it was entertaining to my younger family members.

We saw this originally in the theater when it first came out and think it is the best of the best of Neil Simon’s classic wit. Not as well known as many others but the one liners and acting are unsurpassed. We watch it together as a family often and quote from it all the time. Can’t wait to share it with my grandson. Would hate this masterpiece to miss being shared with the next generation. A must own!!!😁
