Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

markwilliams1313 To everyone that is seeking a copy of this wonderful show that I enjoyed so much as a teenager...I was able to purchase a good quality DVD at http://www.sell.com/2425QC the cost was only 12.95 and worth every penny. I saw the Jane Fonda and Robert Redford version of this Neil Simon play after I saw the Richard Thomas and Bess Armstrong's live stage performance and I have never been so disappointed! Fonda and Redford were absolutely dreadful and had no chemistry at all. Besides I was convinced that Jane Fonda couldn't act after seeing Barbarella! I have ordered another copy of this DVD to give to my mother as a Christmas present. She enjoyed it as much as I did and we must have watched it at least a dozen times together when I was 15. I hope everyone that is seeking a copy can get one to share with their family and friends!

whisper9509 I seen this play on HBO so many years ago and have been looking for it every since. I thought that this version of the movie was very hilarious. Bess Armstrong was very great in her role, as well as Richard Thomas. This was so much better than the movie done by Jane Fonda and Robert Redford. I can not believe it is not available for purchase. I wish I would have recorded it when it was on TV, to my great regret I did not. Do anyone have any idea where one might find this version either to rent or buy. Or have anyone heard if they (HBO or any other network) will air this again. So if anyone finds this play please advise the rest of us who is so desperately looking to see it again. Thanks!!!

Bernie_Potter I so love this production of my all time favorite play!!!!!!!!!!! Richard Thomas just shines as Paul Bratter. I wish I had a copy of this to watch at home over and over again! I think that nothing beats an actual stage production of any play or musical, you get a more intimate feel when you see something on stage, and that goes for this too. No filming on location, no changing of the scenes, though Neil Simon DID write the screenplay for the movie version of this, it's still better to see the actors be more open on stage. When you are on stage, your emotions and actions need to be larger than life, it's much more difficult than film, because you don't have any takes. I love acting so much, and this play has been a huge inspiration to me. Ever since I saw it for the first time in my high school drama class, it has remained my favorite play of all time. Thank you Neil Simon for bringing this wonderful script into our lives! :)

rekohl Having seen this version, the Redford/Fonda version and having read the play numerous times, I like the characterizations in the TV (Hallmark Hall of Fame)production. Richard Thomas and Hans Conreid were especially notable in their interpretations of their characters. I wish I could get a copy for my library. If anyone knows how I may obtain a copy of this production your input will be greatly appreciated.
