amiable neil simon farce about good hearted defense attorney glenda park ( goldie hawn ) and who a sucker for hard luck case and even incorrigible type . she marry to district attorney ira park ( charles grodin ) and who about to campaign for attorney general . into their life come her ex husband nick gardenia ( chevy chase ) and who just would not leave her alone . a the story begin and nick be force by two criminal to participate in a bank robbery and when they let him go ( albeit while their vehicle be in motion ) and nick figure glenda who he never stop love will be the only one willing to help him . hawn and grodin and and chase be all cast in part perfect for each . ( a a matter of fact and the entire film be cast well right down the line . ) chase get to toss off his trademark wiseacre quip and even indulge in a little physical comedy . hawn be just as sweet a could be and grodin be in fine grumpy form . and theyre support well by the other actor and include robert guillaume a grodins colleague and george grizzard a the governor and and harold gould a the judge who have to watch a his courtroom turn into a circus . particularly fun be yvonne wilder a harry maid aurora and t. k. carter a kleptomaniac turn chauffeur chester . the film itself mark a capable theatrical debut for jay sandrich and a man who hone his craft work on many tv series over the year . at one point and gould remark during the climactic trial how he love it when time fly by . well and time fly by watch this film as well . it quite entertain with not one dull moment . simon script be quite funny and spirited and with a dinner party rating a a real comedic highlight . it all good natured fun from it begin to it end . highly recommend to fan of the writer and the star . positive .
