Review of The Goodbye Girl

This movie was good at first. I loved the beginning of this movie, where Paula is an angry and bitter woman who has just been dumped on by her boyfriend. I loved the whole opposites attract thing she and Elliot had going on in the movie. The movie just took a different turn when Elliot professed his love to Paula. This made watching the movie a little painful with all the love scenes after huge arguments between the two. Lucy was a very interesting character. I liked the way she had the mind of a forty year old woman in such a young body. I also liked the way people talked. It gave you a sense of actually living in New York, where everyone speaks fast. Overall, this movie was good.
