Wonderful Movie

This is by all means a wonderful performance by both staring actors Richard Dreyfuss and Marsha Mason.
Mason is the typical woman that has been in a bad relationship... Burned numerous times and being a single mother, she is scared of falling in love. And I believe she plays the part VERY well. Her boyfriend left her and her daughter subleasing their appartment for the next three months to another actor but one of whom neiher know (Dreyfuss). This man is very understanding and kind towards the two even though Mason's character is unbelievably rude towards him. After a few weeks of living together the two become attracted to one another... Mason is fighting the feeling while Dreyfuss is embracing it... This is a marvelous tale but when you add in Richard Dreyfuss and his upbeat comic, always making you smile attitude about life, this this story become magnificent.
