Writing partners Richard (Burt Reynolds) and Paula (Goldie Hawn) are working on a screenplay. They are also buying a house together. At this critical juncture, they discuss marriage, and they visit their families. With deadlines and familial pressures impacting their relationship, they struggle to maintain the joy.
Reynolds and Hawn are so likable. Both of them can light up the screen with their smiles. And their laughs are infectious. That makes their relationship believable and enjoyable. When they get to the tough times, we want them to get through it.
And that what this film is about. It is not pure comedy, like "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Foul Play". It is more like "The Goodbye Girl". Tracy and Hepburn had some films that fall into this genre slot.
Kudos to the four actors who played the parents: Jessica Tandy, Barnard Hughes, Audra Lindley, and Keenan Wynn.
Reynolds and Hawn are so good together, I am surprised they never co-starred again; perhaps they tried, but never found the vehicle or the time.
