058. (11 Feb) Best Friends (1982, Norman Jewison) 20



A romantic comedy devoid of romance and comedy. Burt Reynolds and Goldie Hawn's natural charisma rises to the surface, but they're saddled with the most unlikable characters. It's downright depressing as Hawn refuses to commit to Reynolds, reluctantly marries him, and then they have zany, unhappy adventures together meeting their in-laws. As their relationship gets increasingly hostile and abusive, it's incredibly unpleasant to watch. No surprise, but the Oscar-nominated tune "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?" is every bit as bad as the film.
