A consistently happy comedic fable which should please romanticists drawn to a teaming of Neil Simon, Marsha Mason and Herbert Ross.

Simon's gift also is his downfall. He's so good at writing lightweight dialogue that it all begins to sound the same.

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.

The charm of this Neil Simon fable wears very thin though repetition.
