Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Based on the mid-'70s novel by Judith Rossner (which itself was based on a true story), this film was supposed to be the one that established Diane Keaton's credibility as a 'serious' actress--and yet she won the Oscar for the other film she did the same year, Annie Hall. Still, Looking for Mr. Goodbar is a solid and intriguing film, which offered the first substantial film roles to Richard Gere and Tom Berenger. Keaton is a repressed Catholic school teacher who works with deaf children. In the midst of the sexual revolution, she discovers her own appetite for carnal pleasure--but tries to keep it physical, avoiding emotional entanglement, until she meets Mr. Really Wrong. Keaton is solid but director Richard Brooks can't keep this from dragging. --Marshall Fine

After some thought on the film, I have decided that I do in fact like it, although there are some scenes that will always be difficult to watch.
Looking for Mr. Goodbar is a film based on a book, which was based on true events of a teacher in NY. Thrust into a strange world of drugs and sex by her sister, Diane Keaton's character, Theresa, becomes ... Read More
Rating: - Why isn't this on dvd??
It's been ages since i saw this film as an adult. Last time i did- i lived alone, was fairly "active" in the bar scene and it was during the time that the Dahmer stuff was going on. Needless to say- this movie gave me more of a hesistant pause before brinnging just ANYone home, that's for sure.
I mentioned it to my partner of 12 years and he said he had never seen it (much to my surprise). So i kept hunting and checking back at Amazon to see if it may be coming to dvd any time soon. No such luck. ... Read More
