Jessica Tandy, Barnard Hughes, Audra Lindley, Keenan Wynn and Ron Silver… What happens when you marry your best friend? Richard and Paula are a happy, heathy, highly successful pair of Hollywood screenwriters. They already know each other. They already love each other. And they already live together. So why, already, did they have to get married? That s the question you ll learn the answer to in Warner Bros. smart and stylish comedy, "Best Friends", which proves that even a honeymoon can have its ups and downs – especially when it follows five years of unmarried bliss. Burt Reynolds and Goldie Hawn co-star as the new Mr. and Mrs.Bason, and it s a comic marriage that unites two of the most successful stars in today s screen world. Reynolds hads a natural talent for laid-back laughs, as films like "The End", "Hopper", and "Smokey And The Bandit" have proven. And Goldie Hawn s long-standing comedy credentials were capped by her blockbuster hit "Private Benjamin". Together, they rekindle thr tadion of Tracy and Hepburn, Gable and Lombard, MacMurry and Colbert – but with modern angles all their own. Working from a smoothly literate script by Valerie Curtin & Barry Levinson, venteran director Norman Jewison ( whose "In The Heat Of The Night" won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1967) serves up a delightful contemporary study of mating manners ad morals. In their encounters with respective in-laws, Richard and Paula find that married life isn t everthing it s cracked up to be – and nearly cracked up in the process.
