Phoebe (Mary Steenburgen) and Jason (Dudley Moore) are a pair of Broadway playwrights who are partners in their chosen profession, but in spite of a definite inclination, they remain unpartnered (for a long time) in any other way. Phoebe is an aspiring playwright from the Northwoods and Jason is just getting married when the two meet for the first time and decide to collaborate. As their relationship produces first a failure and then a string of successes, their repartée remains sharp and witty -- and their unrequited interest in each other gathers energy over a nine-year period, until some resolution is finally in sight. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

I have read, and acted in, the original stageplay this movie is based upon. The movie does not do the play ANY justice whatsoever. The play is funny, the movie is not. The characters in the play have substance and are witty, the characters in the movie are bland and boring. Don't bother with the movie, see the theatrical play at your local community theatre if you ever get a chance.

Enjoyable comedic plot. The energy is very down played, particularly from Mary Steenburgen.
