Description of Seems Like Old Times:
An original Neil Simon screenplay makes Seems Like Old Times rise above what would otherwise be a forgettable comedy love triangle. Goldie Hawn (Private Benjamin) plays a good-hearted defense lawyer married to Ira, a politically ambitious district attorney played by Charles Grodin (Midnight Run). The craziness of their everyday lives becomes even more ridiculous when ex-husband Chevy Chase is framed for a bank robbery and seeks refuge with the woman he could never get over. Hawn hides the love of her life under her husband's nose as Chase tries to clear his name. Hawn tries to protect him and Grodin just tries to keep from going insane. A slapstick romance that's very often hit-and-miss, the dialogue saves this comic farce and provides wonderful moments between the three stars. Seems Like Old Times also has going for it winning supporting players and some half a dozen drooling, unruly dogs. --Robert Lane
Seems Like Old Times Reviews:
Hawn and Chase made 2 of my all time favorite comedies 
2009-11-29 - I think Goldie and Chevy made a great team.I wish they did more films together,but "Foul Play" and" Seems like Old times" are 2 of my all time favorite comedies.
What I love most about this movie is the ending.You have no idea whats going to happen next,and there should have been a "Seems like Old times part 2,"but I think this film for some reason wasn't much of a hit,but it was with me.
"I Just Want My Milkduds!" - Chemistry, Deadpan, Simon's Timing... Great 80's Comedy 
2009-10-07 - I have seen this movie dozens of times over the years. When I was a kid they used to play it on HBO like every ten minutes. Neil Siomon was at the peak of his comedic perfection. Chevy Chase & Goldie Hawn rekindle their chemistry from Foul Play and take it to the next level. Charles Grodin's deadpan and Robert Guillame's presence just add to the mix to make it perfect. T.K. Carter and a list of other cameo-esque bit parts bring it home. Hysterical. I watched it with my 13 year old daughter and I gotta tell you it was a real treat to see a movie that relied on dialogue and acting and was funny at every turn. Sloppy by today's standards as far as suspending our disbelief in a few places, with a bit of hurried ending, still this movie is what comedy was in the late 70s and early 80s. Genuine. Perfect. I don't want to get into the old cliche of "they don't make them like this anymore," but being a cliche doesn't make it any less true: they don't. This is lost Hollywood. Chevy, like Bill Murray, like Belushi, like so many of his Saturday Night Live brethren, was the ultimate cynical smartass and it worked so well (Any chance of slowing down to 55?). Goldie was the ultimate ditzy blonde. Seems Like Old Times is just that, a fond look back at what a simple, pleasing comedy was like. Excellent!
Dig it!
Very Funny!!!
2009-06-09 - This movie was extremely funny! Chevy Chase is always hilarious at getting into bad situatios, like being forced to rob a bank and becomes a fugitive. Chase stars as a writer named Nick Gardenia, who is the ex husband of Hawn's character, Glenda Gardenia Parks who has re-married a District Attorney named Ira. Nick desperately needs Glenda's help to hide from the police. She reluctantly hides him at her house, and he is always so close to being caught by her new husband. I love when Glenda and Ira are trying to have dinner with the Governor, and Nick poses as a waiter. Will Nick be able to prove his innocence and still get his ex-wife to love him again? I highly recommend SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES!!!
Highly Overrated 
2009-01-19 - I don't always go along with the Amazon review, but in this case it's dead on. With all the 5 star reviews on this listing I was expecting a little bit more. I love Chevy, Goldie and Charles Grodin as well, but this movie is a bit tepid the first good hour and only managed to arouse continued interest towards the last half hour.. I'd say rent it (wishing I had), and if that doesn't sate your appetite for the movie then buy it. Neil Simon has often been hit and miss for me.. the screen play in this one is, as the Amazon review puts it, "forgettable". It's better moments include slapstick farce, the storyline isn't that clever (not to mention beleivable) and it's stars are the main thing holding it up - they do a good job, but there's only so much you can do with a lackluster script. In a nutshell, it's more yawns than laughs. Not awful, but not great either. 3.5 stars.. 4 at most.
A favorite!!
2008-11-03 - Arrived ahead of schedule and was in Wonderful condition!!
This movie is an all-time favorite. Anyone needed a good
laugh should rent it and then, buy it like I did to watch
over and over again.
