I think this movie was not only great but a very inspirational movie. It showed true love and that's what is needed to remain sain in any relationship. I am hurt that I can't find this movie on DVD and would like to know how I can get it. Let me know if anyone finds out.

This is another wonderful Neil Simon creation. Simon and Mason . . . what a divine combination! He wrote the words and she made sure they would stay in our hearts, forever. Please put this out in DVD. This is a real keeper.

I have just one thing to say: DVD PLEASE!!!! I have watched my VHS so many times, it has worn out!

I have been watching this movie for 20 years - since high school. I loved it the first time I saw it and when we got a VCR I recorded it. Everytime I went home during college (and since), my mother and I watched this movie. I know just about every line. I think it's quick and funny and sweet and inspiring in many ways. I love everyone in it. The lines - they're just so great!! Some may say sappy or schmaltzy, but they get me laughing everytime - and I'm a hard one to get to laugh out loud at movies. You have to be "on your toes" to keep up with this movie and its quick wit!!

Pleasant entertainment, good performances by Marsha Mason and Valerie Harper. I sure wish it would come out on DVD. While you're at it, how about making the soundtrack available on CD? That final song by Marilyn McCoo has been in the can far too long! C'mon Rastar, Sony Pictures, anyone listening?

This film is wonderful, especially for the romantic movie buff who enjoys a measure of comedy in connection with very serious issues. Chapter 2 is set in the mid to late 70s in New York City. The casting producer chose wisely, Marsha Mason is the personification of the 1970s divorced woman. Valerie Harper (physically breathtaking in this movie) plays her neurotic best friend trying to lend emotional support while managing her own very unhappy existance and Joe Bologna (unhappily married press agent) and James Caan (Marsha Mason's co-star and widower)play two brothers deeply involved in one another's lives. Caan and Mason fall in love thanks to Bologna and Harper's match making, but decide to marry before Caan has fully come to terms with his wife's recent death. It's a happy ending but what happens in between the silly antics of Bologna and Harper and the truly touching ending may make even the most unemotional person emotional. Almost anyone will appreciate the touching way in which this story was told - watch and enjoy!

I absolutely love this movie. It is my favorite love story that I have ever seen. I love the quick wit of the characters and the chemistry they share. I also would love to see this movie come out on DVD ASAP!! Any chance of that happening? They need to make more movies like this.

I totally agree with the writer from Briminham!! I remember watching this movie and thinking how classy Marsha Masion was and how much I wanted to be like her, (strong) I also know every word and the next sceen from this movie! I have seen this movie when it first came out at the movies, saw it on cable back in the 70's and now own the movie!

A must see,...to this date, I have not seen a more classy lady then Marsha Mason. James Cann plays a jack-ass for the main part of the movie, but Marsha puts in him his place!!!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this movie!!

It helps to write a letter to a studio when you want a movie released on DVD - this way they know what may make money for them.

I, too, love this movie and would like to have it on DVD.
Start writing, folks!

Our theate company has performed the stage play twice now. The witty reparte and the truthfulness are what grab me. To find the comedy in the tragic is genius, and Neil Simon has done that. I appreciate the stage play more than the screenplay as there are some extended scenes in the movie that don't drive the plot forward for me. (eg. the extremely long honeymoon sequence)I must say that James Caan's choice of eyewear leaves a lot to be desired - thank god the 70's are over! We look forward to performing this once again in July of 2002. There is something for everyone in this timeless slice of life.
