John Lapsley Sydney Morning Herald Until this film It seemed that Neil Simon was at his best, quite brilliant and at his worst, still entertaining. Jan 4, 2021 Full Review Gary Arnold Washington Post The utterly inane tone and lackluster presentation of "Seems Like Old Times" conspire to diminish the personality resources and comis skills its costars do command. May 9, 2017 Full Review Don Macpherson Time Out After an hour, you begin to realise the irony of Neil Simon winning awards for Outstanding Writing ... Feb 9, 2006 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...an appealing premise that's employed to decidedly hit and miss effect... Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 2, 2020 Full Review Mike Hughes Gannett News Service That film is helped by some wonderful performances. Chevy Chase is brilliant; Goldie Hawn is only a half-step behind. But most of all, it's a sign of Simon at his best. Jul 9, 2019 Full Review TV Guide A thin plot heavily laden with many of Neil Simon's best one-liners makes this a pleasant way to spend 102 minutes. Chevy Chase is forced to abet some bank robbers, and soon the cops are after him. Rated: 3/5 May 9, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

BJ M Someone told me it was the funniest film they had ever seen. I no longer listen to them or respect their evaluation of films. The film was not funny to me at all. Boring and contrived. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Carol W Before seeing a clip of this movie on Facebook, l'd never seen or heard of it. When I realized Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase were in the movie, I almost immediately wanted to watch it. I viewed it through Amazon Prime. Hawn and Chase play former spouses. Grodin is her sweet dud of a husband. There's dogs, a maid, a driver, a judge, police, and clients needing legal defense. The movie never really goes anywhere and doesn't really end. It's the worst. The most amazing thing to me is when actors can act and make it through a bad movie with a plot that never takes off because it never had a real script. On a lighter note, seeing Grodin in the movie with a St. Bernard is a great prelude to “ Beethoven”. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/04/25 Full Review Horror fan 4 Love that chicken pepperoni!!! What a underrated Dramedy. Chase,Goldie and grodin deliver lots of laughs. Tim Treakle Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review Geke g It was one of the nostalgic movie i have ever watched Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review Gnr E One of the Neil Simon’s best movie i liked it so much Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/25/24 Full Review Peter P Fast paced and always funny. Lot's of slapstick comedy and oneliners. Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn make a perfect pairing and are just a joy to watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
