Hollywood is currently a failure because even simple movies like this, they don't know how to write anymore. The old ways had writers who lived and interacted with people. Today's writers are in a bubble trying to impress each other. The old ways had diverse castings, writers and directors. The difference was before, it was putting the art first. Today? I haven't a clue. There's nothing on screen that looks like life around me. This movie is closer to what I know than anything they put out today. I was in my 20s when I saw this in movie theaters. Both leads are the reason I wanted to see this back then. This movie is smart, witty, has some heart and knows exactly what it is.
