Details
Movie Description
Film editor Robert Cole is breaking up with his girlfriend, Mary--again. Even Mary doesn't really believe he's serious. Sure enough, after 24 hours of trying to start his life over by launching a new exercise program and setting up a date with a woman he once met but can't seem to remember, he becomes desperate to be back with his former love. Mary takes him back, and the codependent couple finds themselves right back in their old dysfunctional patterns of jealousy and insecurity--but at least the sex is great. Albert Brooks again shows his ability to analyze and deconstruct the most everyday elements of life with humor and empathy in this wry, comic view of relationships. George Kennedy has a hilarious cameo as himself in the film-within-the-film that Brooks's character is editing, and director James L. Brooks appears as the neurotic director of the same film.
Synopsis
MODERN ROMANCE is Albert Brooks's sendup of relationships in the 1980s. Brooks is a sound man for movies, struggling to maintain a modern attitude about love despite his old-fashioned values. The quaalude scene is a comedy classic.
Film Notes
Actor Bob Einstein, best known as Super Dave Osborne, is Albert Brooks's real-life brother. Albert Brooks's birth name was Albert Einstein.
Industry Reviews
"[S]omething fresh, real and, at least to date, completely inimitable."
New York Times - Dave Kehr (05/16/2006)
"Among the best Brooks outings, this is a movie of twisted prime moments."
USA Today - Mike Clark (05/12/2006)
Quotations
"Look, this has nothing to do with 'ludes. It's just a person saying to another person, 'I love you.'"--Robert Cole (Albert Brooks) making a quaalude-influenced declaration of friendship for his assistant, Jay (Bruno Kirby)
"Look how many friends I've got!...Mr. Popularity, Mr. Popularity!"--Robert to his disinterested parakeet, Petey
"I just broke up with somebody. I'm just going to buy a few gifts."--Robert to a parking-lot attendant
