Synopsis: Modern Romance (1981)

Film editor Robert Cole is breaking up with his girlfriend, Mary--again. Even Mary doesn't really believe he's serious. Sure enough, after 24 hours of trying to start his life over by launching a new exercise program and setting up a date with a woman he once met but can't seem to remember, he becomes desperate to be back with his former love. Mary takes him back, and the codependent couple finds themselves right back in their old dysfunctional patterns of jealousy and insecurity--but at least the sex is great. Albert Brooks again shows his ability to analyze and deconstruct the most everyday elements of life with humor and empathy in this wry, comic view of relationships. George Kennedy has a hilarious cameo as himself in the film-within-the-film that Brooks's character is editing, and director James L. Brooks appears as the neurotic director of the same film.

User Reviews: Modern Romance (1981)

  • Overall:

    If you don't laugh, you're dead

    By __A_YAHOO_USER__  Feb 20, 2000

    This is a fine film for any fan of Albert Brooks' body of work, or of Albert Brooks' body. (The witty writer/
    actor/
    director/
    free mason does take his shirt off numerous times.) There are many clever scenes and funny lines, but there is one scene in p...articular featuring George Kennedy, (you remember him as the straight-man/detetective from the Naked Gun films), that is one of the funniest scenes ever put on film. THE funniest scene ever put on film is the opening skit in the fine comedy "Amazon Women on the Moon." (Funny story about that movie. I originally rented it thinking it was a "snuff" film, but when I got home I was shocked to discover that it featured Arsenio Hall, Michelle Pfieffer, Ed Begley, Jr., Carrie Fischer and the gentleman that got screwed out of an Oscar for his performance in 'Ford Fairlane': Andrew "Dice" Clay. It turned out to be a funny film, so it's worth your time.) I wholeheartedly recommend that you see Modern Romance. Read more Less
