I will only comment here on the fact that this is one of the few DVDs I had to own because it became a delicious habit of sharing and introducing it to every one of my girlfriends. No matter how good a film is, how many times do we do that? I didn't pass the DVD on ...I watched it again with them. As most Baby Boomers who have seen this film will agree, we can relate to these characters on so many levels. It always made me laugh and cry but it also reminded me that we are not alone in searching for that one person who "gets us" hangups, issues, warts and all! Jeffrey and Jill (RIP Ms. Clayburgh you were Excellent in your field!) were absolutely amazing in this film and in my opinion this film and their performances were highly underrated.

I am totally enthralled with this film. Not only is the script, acting (for the most part), and the directing superb-- it has a plot that is not seen in ever other love film known to man! I would have given the movie a 10 out of 10, but I have an issue with a handful of aspects about it. I didn't like a lot of the soundtrack; the songs just did not seem to fit the mood of the film in the beginning. Also, there is a cheese factor towards the end. However, if that is all that can be wrong with a film, then it is near perfection in my book. This film deals with real life issues, underneath the humor, and is so well written from both the male and female aspects of things that I kept wondering if two people had written it. (Imagine my surprise when a man had done it. He's got us down pat, ladies!) Plus, it isn't afraid to show a sexual side to humanity beyond 35-- a triumph for this day and age. Currently, this movie is my favorite of all time, and in my opinion, is a masterpiece that everyone should take the time to watch.

I think you have to be over 50 to enjoy this film. The humor is mostly sublime not the stupid, over-the-top site gags that drive most of todays immature comedies. I watched this film alone and laughed out loud till my sides ached. That could be because I have arthritis and fibromyalgia and I'm one of those "Never Again" used and abused people.

While most movies are geared toward the younger crowd, this one tickled the funny bones of the 40+ generation. What a nice change! The language was surprising, but the antics were refreshing. There were some memorable moments, and some visuals you wish you could get out of your mind (Michael McKean to be exact). All in all...it was a fun-filled comedy.
