Plot: Marsha Mason is known as The Goodbye Girl because of all the live-in boyfriends who have said ta-ta to her in the past few years. A former Broadway chorus dancer, the divorced Mason lives in the Manhattan apartment of her latest lost love with her daughter Quinn Cummings. Enter arrogant actor Richard Dreyfuss, who has subleased the apartment from Mason's former boyfriend and moves in bag and baggage in the middle of the night. Dreyfuss and Mason spend the next few weeks getting in each other's way and fighting like cats and dogs. The wind is taken out of Dreyfuss' sails when he opens in a production of Richard III, which has been sabotaged by the director (Paul Benjamin), who insists that Dreyfuss portrays Richard as a hip-swinging homosexual. The play closes after one performance, and the once-overconfident Dreyfuss goes on a self-pitying drunken binge. Touched by his vulnerability, Mason begins falling in love with Dreyfuss despite her lousy track record with men. Richard Dreyfuss became the youngest ever Best Actor Oscar winner as a result of his performance. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

I love this movie! A romantic comedy starring Marcia mason as a jilted ex girlfriend fighting to keep her apartment form the man her ex sublet out from under her. They wend up being room mates with all sorts of quirky happenings. Dreyfuss's character, Elliot, is a health nut who sleeps in the nude, Paula has an 8 yr old girl who is smart and has a fresh mouth. Will the find a way to live together in peace? Does Elliot kick Paula out or does he leave? Get the movie and find out!

The movie is okay.

The Video that was provided had some real audio problems. The sound was not very good. The words and the actors mouth were no sychned up.

A wonderful gentle love story about two very unlikely people falling for each other.

This was great when I first saw it years ago in the theatre and still a favorite today.

What's great about this movie is that it's just about two ordinary people trying hard to make it through life.

Unlike most movies today with incredibly "beautiful people" super model good looks Richard Dreyfus and Marsha Mason could be our neighbors or just someone we know.

Makes you believe in love.

I loved this and all of Marsha Mason's movies but, this one especially because I'am also a big fan of Richard Dreyfuss with it's funny and quick dialogue.I watch it quite often since I found it on dvd. There's a remake of the Goodbye girl with Patricia Heaten and Jeff Daniels but it doesn't come close to the original. Great movie a must have.

It's wounderful to find vendos that not only have stuff like this but also ship quickly and don't charge an arm and a leg for it.
