Member Rating:  
Based on the hit Broadway play by Neil Simon, who made his screenwriting debut with this adaptation, Barefoot In The Park follows the lives of newlyweds Paul (Robert Redford) and Corie Bratter (Jane Fonda) as they adjust to married life in a tiny Greenwich Village apartment. Paul is a buttoned-down, straight-arrow lawyer who's wound a little too tight, while Corie is an effervescent free spirit who won't let anything disturb her romantic bliss. Aside from the five-flight climb and the hole in their skylight, the Bratters must also contend with eccentric upstairs neighbor Victor Velasco (Charles Boyer), who must go through their apartment to get to his. Corie hatches a plot to get her mother (Mildred Natwick) together with Mr. Velasco, but the entire evening goes awry and even casts doubt on the viability of the Bratters' new marriage, as Corie tries unsuccessfully to loosen Paul up. All ends well, however, and Fonda and Redford are full of youthful appeal in this light domestic comedy. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

The casting is right on and Neil Simon's humor rings out as one of his best. Robert Redford and Jane Fonda have terrific chemistry and are believable in their roles as newlyweds.

It was a fun movie to watch Fonda and Redford together with Charles Boyer and Mildred Natwick as a bonus. Fonda always says in interviews about Redford that he's a GREAT kisser.

Very dated, not very funny, and a waste of time. I am a fan of both Fonda and Redford but this bored the heck out of me.

This movie was cute, but a little too sappy for me.

I watched this last night with the wife. Its a bit cheesy and the dialogue is really forced...like Neil Simon made sure Rob and Jane never strayed from their wooden lines. It has a claustrophobic feel as the majority of the film takes place in a one bedroom apartment. There's a few funny moments and it is a feel good movie (especially when its over) but I wouldn't recommend it unless your a die-hard Robert Redford/Jane Fonda fan.

I saw this live many years ago and enjoyed it much more than this movie. It was well acted, but the viewer can't get out of his mind how Jane Fonda was a traitor to this country and is so Anti-American.

Kim M.

I endured 45 minutes, waiting for some plot to show up, waiting for the acting to stop being over the top, waiting for a good movie. It never showed up.
