Actors: Richard Dreyfuss, Marsha
Mason, Quinn Cummings, Paul Benedict
Rating: 7 out of 10, This seemed a lot
funnier back in the 1970s. It has not aged well although Dreyfuss is still very
funny as the struggling actor forced to share an apartment with a single mom.
Mason is unsympathetic in that role and you have to wonder what led to eventual
love story. The 70s were a confusing time. The funniest bits involve the actor’s
need for approval and his attempt at a very gay Richard III in an off-Broadway
play. I was a huge fan of Neil Simon’s writing but again, this hasn’t aged
well; almost as if we’ve outgrown the simple plot devices he employs for laughs.
MVP: Dreyfuss as Elliot the gayest
Richard III ever
