This is a weird movie that felt disjointed to me. I didn't understand why Hackman's character would want Streisand's at all. She leaves him and then when the guy she left doesn't want her back, five minutes later she is back with him. If there was a sequel she'd be cheating on him in the first scene. Almost as puzzling as that, is earlier in the film when Hackman's character (working as the midnight-shift manager of an all-night pharmacy/convenience store) pushes a trolley into the security guard who has his finger on the trigger pointed at a thief...I wouldn't have thought that was the smartest thing to do. Some of the comedy in the store doesn't work and doesn't mesh with other parts of the film. 2 out of 5 at the most.
