Just Me and You

Touching and beautifully done, and there is such chemistry between the actors. A real uplifter and a truly emotionally satisfying love story. And who says there are no big laughs in this movie? I break out in a HUGE smile when I think of how exasperated Charles got while Louise was "coaching" him while he attempted to change the flat tire. And the story about the lady who wore a tomato pin, and the bit in the car where Louise says her name is Little Connie. Or what about when she's calling her boyfriend in California, Roger Porchnik, and she has to leave a message with his answering service: "Tell him Jane called. Yes, Jane. Jane, from his RELATIONSHIP." I can't write anymore-I'm laughing too hard!!!! YES-WE MUST HAVE THIS ON DVD PLEEEEEEEEEAASSSEEEEE!!!!!

While many people are bored of this movie, one can still enjoy it. Yes, the plot is told easily: a man and a woman who have never met before drive together through the USA in order save money. That's all. But then, the actors are just great, especially Louise Lasser playing a naive, insecure woman. When I watched this for the first time, it was not very special to me, but when I recently watched this movie again, I continuously laughed about their dialogs and experiences. My favorite scene is in the motel, where they stay over night in the 'wedding suite' (the most expensive room there, even though it's the only one): the clerk says something like "maybe you are hungry?" "yes" "OK then, good night!" This movie is worth watching if one is patient. Otherwise, better switch to a different channel. My vote: 9/10

A guy needs to make a car trip from New York to Los Angeles in four days, and advertises in the paper for someone to share the driving. A very talkative but attractive young woman answers the ad, and convinces him to take her along. The movie consists of the comedic interactions on their trip that gradually transform their relationship from one in which he is immediately sorry he brought her along, to the inevitable realization that they are in love, not with those they presumably drove across America to see, but with each other.

The two main characters complemented each other perfectly - he the level headed guy, she the dizzy dame he finally falls for. The dialogue, written by Louise Lasser, was fall-down funny. A certain ability to suspend reality is necessary to get into the spirit of the movie, but for those who can, it is a trip you will remember for a long time.

One of those, "Why was this made?" movies. The romance is very hard to swallow. It is one of those romances, that, suddenly, "click" - they are in love. The movie is filled with long pauses and uncomfortable moments - the drive-in restaurant being the most notable. Charles Grodin does a credible job but for most of the movie it's just him and Louise Lasser. Ask yourself, do you want to watch Grodin with his neurosis and Lasser with her neurosis together for a hour and half?

it's been so long since I seen this I'm delighted to have finally found it on IMDb.

I loved it. Gentle and well executed and very funny. An absolute gem. I don't' know if it's now available on VHS or DVD but I'll be searching for it.

Both Lasser and Grodin work fantastically well together. The two are very well paired and this is an exercise in how to do comedy without 'hamming' it up. Believable set up and funny outcomes. A rather touching love story which in the beginning was unexpected but very satisfying for any romantics watching it. I only wish there were more of these type of movies with such exceptional talents in them. Bravo!
