Summary: Good movie.
Review: I love this movie. I saw it 20 years ago in the theater and just now bought it. This is Richard Dreyfuss' followup moving to Jaws. It is a romantic love story. Enjoy!

Summary: A Charming Movie!
Review: I saw The Goodbye Girl for the first time with my Mom in a theater when I was a kid and I loved it and thought the acting by Richard Dreyfuss Marsha Mason and Quinn Cummings was wonderful and the dialogue was very good. When this movie was shown on HBO I watched it a number of times and have not seen it since and I could definitely see myself buying the movie on DVD. Very charming!!

Summary: A chick flick for guys too
Review: I saw the Goodbye Girl when it first came to theaters. At the time I was 12 and was really not interested in seeing it. I made quite a fuss as my parents dragged me into the theater. Now, many years later I can be honest and tell the world how much I liked the film.Richard Dreyfuss and Marsha Mason play mismatched people stuck rooming together when Mason's ex dumps her and sublets his apartment to Dreyfuss. Mason's character has a young daughter, played by Quinn Cummings, and the three end up tolerating each other until resentment turns to acceptance turns to caring turns to love. It's an old story but it's never been done better than this. As an adult now, I think the film appeals to me because the male character is more than just window dressing in a story about how hard a woman's life is. Guys don't want to be beat over the head and this movie doesn't do that. Each character has their own chance to have a breakdown, and in the end we find a little of ourselves in all of them.

Summary: Sorry to Disagree
Review: I see everyone else gave the movie 5 stars. I hate to be the fly in their ointment, but I didn't care for this movie. I saw it at the show when it first came out way back when. The love story wasn't believable to me. I never could believe Richard Dreyfuss would be attracted to Marsha Mason, or vice versa. I just didn't feel any chemistry between the two. I like Dreyfuss in other roles, but not this one. Even the kid got on my nerves. Sorry to rain on the parade.

Summary: The Most Perfect Love Story Ever
Review: I truly have found mine and my husbands "movie". I watch everynight before i go to bed. Heart warming all around. This movie gives hope to those hopeless romantics that love is really out there. A 10!

Summary: Not as good the second time around
Review: I wanted to watch this movie because I remember liking it at the movies when it first came out. I couldn't get into it this time. There didn't seem to be much chemistry between the two actors and I ended up falling asleep before it was over. The movie seemed quite dated to me.

Summary: The best movie I have ever seen
Review: I wish Amazon gave a one in a lifetime 6 stars rating opportunity. I would give it to this movie. Need I say more? My one-in-a-lifetime choice. I have seen it at least 9 times in the last 6 years or so.

Summary: LET'S CUT TO THE CHASE
Review: I'LL MAKE THIS VERY BRIEF. THIS IS THE FINEST ROMANTIC COMEDY
FILM I'VE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE OF VIEWING. HECK, IT'S ONE OF THE FINEST FILMS PERIOD.
IMO "THE GOODBYE GIRL" IS BETTER THAN "THE ODD COUPLE" WHICH I ALSO LOVE; WHICH MEANS IT'S NEIL SIMON'S BEST MOVIE EVER.
IT'S ALSO RICHARD DREYFUSS'S AND MARSHA MASON'S BEST PERFORMANCE
IN FILM.
AS FAR AS COMPARING THIS TO A MEG RYAN AND TOM HANKS MOVIE,
FORGET IT. HANKS AND RYAN WERE NEVER THIS GOOD!
ONE LAST THOUGHT; QUINN CUMMINGS, WHO PLAYS THE DAUGHTER LUCY,
SET A STANDARD IN CHILD ACTING. ONE I'VE YET TO SEE TOPPED.
I'VE CONSUMED THIS MOVIE A DOZEN TIMES AND IT NEVER LOSES IT'S
FRESHNESS AND FLAVOR!!!
