...wishes for military hardware. Iran has spent more than $18 billion in the past eight years on U.S. arms, and its new shopping list includes 140 F-16 fighter-bombers (in addition to 160 already on order) and 250 F-18 combat fighter planes.

Though the film relies heavily on the mechanical plot devices of '40s boy-meets-girl movies, Simon keeps gratuitous punch lines to a minimum and shows an open-hearted concern for his fetching characters. Unfortunately, The Goodbye Girl's direction has been entrusted to Herbert Ross (The Turning Point), a film maker who has a bizarre knack for making almost any screenplay look as if it were written for radio.
