REVIEWS:

"Neil Simon's 'The Goodbye Girl' is a funny movie with its heart finally
in the right place, but all sorts of unacknowledged complications lurk
just beneath its polished surface. .... The first hour is awkward at times
and never quite involving, but some of the later scenes, especially a
dinner on a rooftop and the way [Richard] Dreyfuss receives the
disastrous reviews of his play, are really fine. It's strange: We
leave the movie having enjoyed its conclusion so much that we
almost forgot our earlier reservations."

-- Roger Ebert; 1977
