Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase reunite for "Seems Like Old Times," a 1980 Neil Simon comedy that borrows heavily from the Cary Grant-Jean Arthur "Talk of the Town." Hawn is an attorney and ex-wife of Chase, and she's now married to DA Charles Grodin, who's about to be made Attorney General of the state. Chase is forced to take part in a robbery and is on the lam and shows up at her house and several inopportune moments - like when she's entertaining the governor. She feels compelled to help him, but there's nothing unusual there - she has stray dogs, cats, and paroled defendants overrunning her house.

The actors are excellent, as is the funny supporting cast, and there are some hilarious scenes as Chase hides out in a room above the garage and, while under the bed, his hand extending a little, Grodin stands on his finger as he argues with Hawn.

What bothers me about this comedy is that there aren't any around like this anymore. The "comedy" today aims at the lowest common denominator - Woody Allen uses the term "crass" to describe them - and for someone of my generation, what passes as comedy today just isn't funny. Today these situational comedies are written off for some reason in favor of stupidity. I don't get it. I lament the days of "Arthur," where you missed some of the jokes in the theater because the audience was laughing so hard, "Night Shift," and "Seems Like Old Times."
