Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This 1979 movie, "Foolin' Around", is definitely a feel-good romantic comedy, and it's got a lot going for it. This is certainly not the most realistic movie you're ever going to see--often, it's downright outrageous in a very cartoonish sort of way--but it's often hilarious, and also, it has its moments of smile-inducing tenderness. The pairing of Gary Busey and Annette O'Toole is uncanny--both of them are undeniably charming and they deliver uniquely down-to-earth performances. Eddie Albert also does a great job as the veteran president of a construction company and has a wonderfully dramatic and surprisingly suspenseful 'coming-of-age'-type scene with Busey 50 stories up. With its blend of poignancy and over-the-top humor, "Foolin' Around" makes for a highly entertaining movie that's a pleasure to see. Also of note, Seals & Crofts contribute 2 tunes to the soundtrack which I'm quite sure were both written specifically for the movie (they aren't on any S & C album): the solid, easy-going, country-flavored title track (which sounds a lot like the Eagles' "Peaceful Easy Feeling"); and the decent ballad "These Moments Never Live Again".
