The Goodbye Girl is a bittersweet comedy about relationships and taking chances. Though it deals with the human condition, what most quickly comes to mind are those wickedly comedic scenes featuring Richard Dreyfuss in an Oscar-winning role. He plays a struggling actor with a sharp tongue who has sublet an apartment from single mom Marcia Mason, a divorcee with horrific taste in men, who are always running out on her. She is left high and dry once more, stuck sharing her apartment with Dreyfuss when he hasn't the heart to enforce his lease and toss out mother and daughter. Neil Simon's play shines under the direction of Herbert Ross as these two mismatched people find their contempt changing into mutual admiration. Quinn Cummings is more interesting than most precocious child stars; she seems brighter and her manner is prickly instead of cloying. Watch this film just for the scene in which Dreyfuss plays Richard III in an off-off-Broadway play. He lisps, he limps, he screams. It is the worst theater you will ever see--and thoroughly hilarious. --Rochelle O'Gorman

 great story November 17, 2008
This movie I watched over 10 times when it came out. Need I say more?
There is one thing some may not notice do. After his off Broadway play and he comes home drunk, he clears off the table Sticks his head out the window and starts quoting the paper. as he was pulled back in the table was back to normal, but no one had the time to fix it, only little flaw in the film. Well worth adding to your collection of love stories.

I was very satisfied with the quality and timely manner in which the movie was delivered.
Still Enjoyable After All These Years October 20, 2008
I saw this on the big screen thirty years ago. The story & production holds up as if it were produced new today. Great performances. This is Neil Simon at his best!

I've always loved this movie!! It's very romantic. Richard Dreyfuss deserved to win the Oscar!!!
WINNING ROMANTIC COMEDY WITH DREYFUSS IN TOP FORM! July 21, 2008
I had never seen this film until now and I must say it is a very good movie! Considering there are only three people in the majority of the film, it's amazingly engrossing. Dreyfuss has never been more likable and so full of energy! It's smart, funny and not too sweet. The DVD transfer looks very good, but not much in the way of extras.
