elliot gould salvage what be otherwise a very mediocre movie . candice bergen early reputation a a bad actress be mold in part by this film and where virtually the only thing she do in get straight be whine and whine and and whine . i remember watch this film for the first time and and think to myself will somebody please slap her . her father dummy and charlie mccarthy and mortimer snerd and be good actor than her and and make good movie . elliot gould do mash that same year and and build a well deserved reputation a an excellent actor and even though he have his cinematic ups and down since then and like most actor . his work in get straight be excellent and but unfortunately be balance out by a typically bad performance by candice bergen .
