In its day, this Oscar-winning film was regarded as a quirky destine-to-be classic. Three decades later, it doesn't hold up for me. Seen today, it's a meandering tale, with very little humor, that seems much longer than its 90 minute length. Why Mary Steenberger got nominated for an Oscar, let alone won, is puzzling. Even more confusing is the screenwriting Oscar for Bo Goldman. This is one of those films where, I guess, you had to be there -- the "there" being 30 years ago.

A long and depressing movie about everything except Howard Hughes or anything he may have done! Melvin & Howard should be called Melvin & Melvin!

This movie was a disappointment and a snoozer. What a waste of Jason Robards. If you're looking for a cult movie with a bunch of wierdos, try something like the Road to Wellville.

Pretty good, not great but it was funny at times.

This film has lots to offer. Kept wondering what would happen next. Performances are way above average.
