And why not, it’s a very easy film to like. I recently showed it to my wife for the first time and she seemed to like it. Ah, the reckless abandon of youth! As for the movie, I still enjoy popping it into my trusty DVD player when I need a good laugh. Trust me, I gave them a piece of my mind outside after the movie. I liked it very much despite the rude kids sitting behind us who wouldn’t stop making noise. Even at the tender age of 13, I could tell that Seems Like Old Times would be a winner. The movie had been out for a while and it finally came to a theater where my father could just drop me off after church. It may not be as consistently funny as Foul Play, but how does one go about improving upon perfection? Seems Like Old Times came out around the time I started going to the movies on a regular basis I caught a Sunday afternoon matinee at a neighborhood theater with my best friend at the time. I can’t get over how well this movie works it’s a rare case of every element coming together in just the right way. It also has a well-written screenplay from award-winning playwright Neil Simon (The Odd Couple) and tight direction from TV veteran Jay Sandrich. It reteams Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn from the excellent 1978 comedic thriller Foul Play and throws the always-great Charles Grodin (Midnight Run) into the mix. Seems Like Old Times is a fine example of romantic comedy done right. Carter, Judd Omen, Marc Alaimo, Yvonne Wilder, David Haskell, Chris Lemmon, Joseph Running Fox, Ray Tracey.
