After a really strong opening the film falls back into some pretty standard territory. Not that it's bad, but I was just hoping for more.
The second half slows down and becomes more character oriented, which works to an extent but I just don't think the characters are interesting enough to carry the flaws of the film and make the final resolution have any sort of emotional impact.

Goldie Hawn, Chevy Chase and Charles Grodin are great as is to be expected, and their chemistry and comedic timing elevates the average script in parts but they only have so much to work with.

This is the best Chevy Chase movie. A great script, perfect timing and with Goldie Hawn and Charles Grodin the funniest trio of all times.

Doesn't really hold up very well. The direction is leaden, and the farcical elements usually fall flat.

"I knew you were the one person in the World who could help me."
"I can't help you."
"Maybe it was someone else I was thinking of."

An old school Chevy Chase film that I hadn't seen before? That's what I call a successful Sunday morning.

Pretty dated screwball comedy...there may have been humor here in 1980 but not anymore.

My favorite Chevy Chase roll next to Clark Griswold. Simply a perfect movie in every way.

Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase have perfect chemistry. The underrated Charles Grodin is great. Amazing sight gags and one-liners. Very quotable. Solid acting, solid screenplay, and just plain hilarious.
