Where to Watch Seems Like Old Times
- DavidBunnyDadMarch 23, 2026Those with little patience for screwball comedy (like me) will find this virtually unwatchable. The plot is barely there, the stakes are so low, the supporting characters are thinly sketched at best and the laughs are few and far between; it's just a lot of exhausting running around. Chase and Hawn have undeniable chemistry and Grodin is always a delight, but they're all wasted here. This feels like something Neil Simon dashed off in one weekend to satisfy a sudden gambling debt.
