Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: There are certainly some questionable ingredients to the story, but you're not likely to notice them while the film is under way. You're likely to be laughing.
Fresh: A consistently happy comedic fable which should please romanticists drawn to a teaming of Neil Simon, Marsha Mason and Herbert Ross.
Rotten: Simon's gift also is his downfall. He's so good at writing lightweight dialogue that it all begins to sound the same.
Fresh: Ross directs competently and the cast could not be bettered.
Customer Reviews
Max Dugan is a Simon Classic
A wonderful cast makes this Neil Simon film set in Venice, CA in the early 1980's, an absolute go-to feel-good film. It has charm a la Robards, humor from Broderick, and Donald Sutheralnd plays a cop who has fallen for a frazzled and goofy Teacher at her wits end. The story is silly and kind of on the same vein as The Incredible Shrinking Woman in terms of tone, but it also has Simon's trademark lilt-with a hint of Brighton Beach Memoirs in the mix. I have always loved this movie for its entertainment value without being in your face as many 21st century films are. It does not take its self so seriously which makes it a pure joy to watch.
Love it
