"Very witty…ia well-scripted comedy!" -Los Angeles Times
Oscar®-nominated director Arthur Hiller (Love Story) directs "a perfect cast" (Leonard Maltin), including funnyman Dudley Moore (Arthur) and captivating Oscar® winner Mary Steenburgen (Parenthood), in a modern tale of the trials and tribulations of falling in love... with someone completely unavailable. Adapted by Bernard Slade (Same Time, Next Year) from his hit stage play, this upbeat urban comedy is an engagingly wry spectacle where sparkling wordplay becomes scintillating foreplay.
Playwright Jason Carmichael (Moore) hasn't had a hit since he lost his writing partner. But when gawky neophyte writer Phoebe Craddock (Steenburgen) enters his life, she not only helps him pen hit after hit... she also steals his heart! After years of intimate collaboration, the two would be as close as the keys on a typewriter, were it not for one thing: Jason's wife. But when his marriage fails, the stage is finally set for the two lovers to either extend their romantic run indefinitely... or close it down for good!

Romantic Comedy (1983) - 3.5 out of 5 (2/14/2003)
Romantic Comedy is rather I guess interesting is a good word to use, yes, interesting. The flick seems endless about a playwright, Jason Carmichael who is engaged to his new writing partner, Phoebe Craddock. They say, "first impressions are everything" so what is very weird is when Phoebe meets Jason for the first time. Romantic Comedy is based upon the stage play by Bernard Slade.
Craddock, Miss Priss marries offensive Jason Carmichael and the two spend the entire movie with obstacles i
