Customer Reviews of The Lonely Guy
Yow! This film is supposed to be comedy, but Martin's character comes across as just plain creepy... I was hoping that a ten-ton safe would fall on the Larry Hubbard character, or that Godzilla would suddenly appear and turn him into a pile of smoking cinders with a jetlike column of fire. That way, he would be put out of his misery and it would be easier to sympathize with him.
As it were, the Hubbard character comes across like a sexless zombie in a double-knit suit. Watching this film was as frustrating as watching a three week schedule of Roadrunner cartoons 24/7. Even "Dumb and Dumber" had at least a few redeeming qualities.
As of this writing, you can get a used dvd copy of this on amazon for about $9.00. My suggestion would be to throw your money into the gutter instead, because it will be a lot more entertaining and a lot less waste of time.
The Lonely Guy a great rare unseen comedy with Steve Martin
Steve Martin , the great comedian who has starred
in a dozen or so great comedies, stars as Larry Hubbard,
an aspiring writer, who after finding his girl in bed
with another guy becomes "The Lonely Guy".
Hubbard, then goes out on his own in New York City, and
find the right place for himself to live in , along
with trying to find the right girl for him. However,
comic mishaps prevent Larry from doing this, all the while
though, Larry from his experiences as a lonely guy in
New York, will use this for a best seller he is writing
revolving around lonely guys.
"The Lonely Guy" is both a laughfest, and a charming,
sentimental movie about love.
The laughs come in when we see Larry trying to find
an apartment in New York.
He first sees a high class apartment, but then narrates
that looks can be deceiving as, these kind
of apartment have a high crime rate. Then seconds
a guy gets shot and tells Larry: "Don't move
in bad neighboorhood". LOL
Then when Larry starts looking for an apartment, he
decides he wants one with a view of the river.
However, when he looks out of the window of one
of the apartments, he sees that windows is the river!!!
As he sees goldfish, and other fish, swim across
the window!!! LOL
When Larry finally gets settled he meets a man
named Warren Evans (Charles Grodin) a lonely
guy who is contemplating suicide. Larry prevents
Warren from doing this and the 2 become good
friends.
Seeing his skill in dealing with lonely guys, Larry
plans his book based on the subject. However, he
himself feels depressed while writing it, since
he doesn't have a woman.
Larry then goes on a mission (with both comical
and good results) to find the right woman.
He meets Iris (Judith Ivey) a great woman, but
with a troubled past. Will Larry , the lonely guy, find the right woman? See it to find out. There are great funny cameos by Dr. Joyce Brothers, and Merv Griffin, who take a great interest in the writer/ lonely guy.
Other comical scenes involved Larry trying to find
the right dog, to past those lonely nights.
The movie is hard to find, and out of print, but
it's worth searching for.
Overall it's a great comedy, Martin and Grodin,
give exceptional performances, again showing their
comedic talents.
love this movie!
I laugh my ass off at the scene where grodin and martin hold a dinner party with cardboard cutouts! funny! This is a great film if you're a steve martin fan,and charles grodin`s deadpan delivery is funny too.
