The Goodbye Girl

It's a Neil Simon film I'm pretty sure, he also did "Biloxi Blues" I think. Anyway, it's an old one (I think from the 70s), but a very good one. Richard Dreyfuss stars in it with an actress who used to be famous but isn't so much anymore. Basically it's a love story. And it's a comedy, but not a frothy meaningless one. It's well written and acted, and very believable. It's also very funny.

This was very, very good. If you like Dreyfess, you have to rent "Always". It's similiar to Ghost Story (Demi/Patrick).

It has Richard Dreyfuss and Holly Hunter. You won't be disappointed. (Abit soggy by the end, but that's what good movies are for.) BTW.. GoodBye Girl was Marsha Mason .. and I liked her. Very real, believably vunerable. Hard to resist that.

They're doing a remake of The Goodbye Girl, it's airing on TNT and stars Patricia Heaton.

Hmmm....there's a little something about Patricia Heaton that bugs me, and I'm not sure what it is. I think it's her character on "Everybody Loves Raymond" (a show which I do not like or watch, but have had to watch a couple times when family members insisted on watching it). I know, everybody seems to really like that show, but it's just too goody-goody for me or something, it's too traditional, that Raymond guy bugs me, the dad REALLY bugs me (I know, he's supposed to be annoying, that's the point. lol)...I just hate that show. So I'm all prejudiced against Patricia Heaton's acting now. lol! I'll give the remake a shot though, if I'm home when it airs. Everything deserves a chance.

Also, I have to say, I can't for the life of me imagine any other actor doing a better job at Richard Dreyfuss's role than Richard Dreyfuss himself. I love that guy to death!
