Recensioni in evidenza
This movie has too many hilarious scenes to count, and contains many clever one-liners that will leave you rolling. The humor here isn't always obvious and in-your-face, but it's lurking within nearly every line in every scene.
The wacky set of characters add flair to the well-written storyline. This is one comedy which never gets old or boring, from beginning to end.
Stars Chevy Chase, Goldie Hawn, and Charles Grodin are at their best, while the supporting cast also does an excellent job. This is a well made comedy in all aspects. It is perplexing how this one fell below the radar.
Keep in mind that this movie is not really aimed at the stupid. If you need to be hit over the head with jokes in order to recognize them, this isn't the movie for you. At the same time, the movie is not pretentious, and the humor is not hidden. If you can appreciate its deadpan tone, you will find it to be hilarious.
I remember seeing movies such as Foul Play, Seems Like Old Times, The Goodbye Girl, Airplane, Arthur, The Main Event, Love at First Bite, The Jerk, etc. as a kid. Then they were funny to me, but now that I get older, they seem even funnier. Maybe it's the nostalgia, in a day and age of 'dark comedy', to be again in an era that was more laid-back and lighthearted. These movies are just good plain fun.
As far as Chevy Chase, and Goldie Hawn are concerned, especially in Foul Play...I would have describe them as cute, (especially together), great fun, fun to watch, great talents, and in this movie pure genius. I would love to see some of the seventies/ eighties comedy icons get together to make one last movie together. With a good script, it would be like It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World would be to the great classic comedians of early film.
Chevy Chase or Goldie Hawn, watch this movie.
The story is very similar to Max Dugan Returns, another Simon comedy in which Marsha Mason plays a woman who's estranged father (Jason Robards) shows up at her doorstep one night with a suitcase full of "stolen" money. In need of a place to lay low from the cops, the woman has to hide him from her boyfriend, a detective played by Donald Sutherland. By the way, if you liked Seems Like Old Times, you'd probably enjoy Max Dugan Returns, although it is not filled with as much 'stupid comedy' as the former.
Seems Like Old Times is classic Chevy Chase wit, Goldie Hawn charm, Charles Grodin panic, and comfortable Neil Simon comedy. Plus, it's got a load of other familliar faces like Robert Gillaum as Grodin's best friend and co-worker. T.K. Carter is hilarious as Goldie Hawn's chauffeur/maitre di/whatever else the woman hires him for (you'll understand if and when you have seen the movie). I think my favorite character of all, however, is the sassy housemaid, Aurora. It's a nice little film about outrageously odd occurences.

- Citazioni
Judge John Channing: Mr. Gardenia, will you answer a question for me please?
Nick Gardenia: If I can be of any help in this case, Judge, it's my pleasure.
Judge John Channing: Mr. Gardenia, were you apprehended or did you surrender?
Nick Gardenia: Surrendered.
Dist. Atty. Ira J. Parks: He was apprehended.
Glenda Gardenia Parks: He was apprehended after he surrendered.
Dist. Atty. Ira J. Parks: He didn't surrender to me, therefore he was apprehended.
Glenda Gardenia Parks: He was *going* to surrender to my husband after dinner. I told him to wait in the kitchen.
Judge John Channing: [Drops pencil in disgust] And did you wait in the kitchen, Mr. Gardenia?
Nick Gardenia: No, I had to serve dinner.
Judge John Channing: Wait a minute. You served dinner to Mr. and Mrs. Parks?
Nick Gardenia: And the Governor.
Judge John Channing: The Governor? *Our* Governor?
Nick Gardenia: I didn't ask him. He looked like our governor.
Dist. Atty. Ira J. Parks: Your Honor, I think our guest list is totally irrelevant to the charges. I mean, if we're gonna get into such trivialities, we might as well discuss what was served.
Nick Gardenia: Chicken pepperoni, your Honor. The Governor seemed to enjoy it if it has any bearing on the case.
Judge John Channing: Hold it hold it, hold it. Just - would you hold it? Are you telling me that while every police officer in the state of California was looking for you, you were serving dinner to the District Attorney, his wife and the Governor?
[Chuckles in disbelief]
Judge John Channing: How is that possible?
Nick Gardenia: Well, you have to prepare everything in advance.
