Pipe Smoking L @RT92467537 Jul 11 It literally happens! This movie is teeming with irony... Made for you mom and grandma to bond over before they start fighting over things that happened again over 30 years ago! Robert Redford acts kind of like a man. And says stuff. Jane Fonda wears clothes. An interesting, mid 20th Century old-style apartment upstages everyone.

This is a classic Neil Simon story that film buffs will enjoy.

However an accurate to this day example of how man can go wild for the woman they love. See more chris m @chriss17eu Oct 1 the best romance of all time? 'barefoot in the park' is a romantic comedy that gets off to an outstanding start: an excellent opening montage introduces us to its protagonists with charm and freshness. the settings perfectly serve their purpose, drawing us into the story and making us feel part of it. the performances are brilliant, with a flawless robert redford and a jane fonda full of energy and naturalness. the characters are so well-written that it’s easy to connect with them from the very beginning. the direction, plot, and screenplay work like a precise mechanism, creating a fun and delightful experience. the dialogue, moreover, is perfectly crafted and flows so smoothly that it can be enjoyed from start to finish. it’s true that the film experiences a slight dip around the middle, but it never loses its way: it stays strong until reaching a charming and well-executed ending. charles boyer, who at first seems somewhat out of place in the story, ends up being essential in enhancing the central relationship between redford and fonda, adding an interesting and necessary twist. in short, 'barefoot in the park' is one of redford’s best works and a romantic comedy that, despite its ups and downs, shines thanks to the chemistry of its leads, its well-crafted script, and its timeless charm. spanish: el mejor romance de todos los tiempos?

See more Marcus T @MarcusT12 Sep 28 A harrowing journey for a small payoff. It took me three sittings to get through it. I almost didn't finish it, but I'm glad I did. Fonda's performance was a little hard to take and Redford was not particularly endearing either. I never saw it before, but it seemed dated and didn't age well. I will fault the director for not making the characters more likeable. Perhaps it worked better on stage.
