TeenzTen An action-packed slog

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

bobbyatsea Thoroughly enjoyed this. I had never seen (or heard of) this film before, but what a sweet and pleasant surprise. It's well written, both plot and dialogue. There are wonderful twists happening all the time and the delivery by Steve and Goldie is truly fantastic. It's been a while I had so many spontaneous laughs in any comedy. Ah just the way Steve falls over the couch and stands up again, he's a comedic genius. And Goldie has this uniquely radiant, sweet quality about her while making anything she says simply hilarious. Another excellent element is the music score, subtle piano trio jazz mixed with more orchestral semi-classical arrangements, very tastefully done (by composer Miles Goodman who passed away too early). If this film does not bring a smile to your face I don't know what will. It's pure sunshine!

Predrag This is a charming, light, sweet screwball comedy, with an excellent ensemble cast all wonderful in their roles. Goldie Hawn beautifully plays a charming, off-beat con artist, whose pathological lying and skewed take on reality unwittingly lead her to bring about genuine love and kindness. Along the way, she reunites a family; sheds light on the old flame of her "victim" Steve Martin (exposing the motivations of the woman who broke his heart); and creates two new families proving that, in the movies at least, you may be able to make a silk purse from a sow's ear.Both Hawn and Martin excel in their roles and they work really well together. Hawn's kooky and lovable small con-artist is perfect against Martin's straight laced conservative architect and the strange double life they have to lead, due to their constant lies, makes for an entertaining story. They are ably supported by a great cast of character actors and the character combinations make for some great scenes.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

ncorney Everything about this gem of a movie is crafted expertly. The chemistry between Hawn and Martin is delightful - they obviously had a lot of fun working together (at one point you can even see Hawn corpsing on screen after Martin falls over a settee!). The supporting characters are perfectly cast, the music is just right and the whole world the film creates is enchanting. However it's Mark Stein's script that really makes the film special; it's probably the film my wife and I have watched together more times than any other and there are countless lines in it that have entered our lives. And if the film has a message, then it's the really rather profound one that we all need some imagination and creativity in our relationships to keep them alive.

charmed_rocks-1 One of the funniest films I've watched. Every time I watch it I laugh- How many films do that? Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin are perfectly cast and keep the laughs coming. This film will always raise a smile and cause a laugh. This is also one of my favourite Goldie Hawn films. Funniest part for me was when Gwen (Goldie's character) is talking to Davis (Martin's character) and Davis trips over the couch and falls to the floor hitting the table and then stands up like nothing has gone on, and Gwen carries on talking-even after looking at the table L.O.L If you see it advertised on TV or see it in the DVD store, buy it, don't hesitate.
