On this day, December 17, 1982, Best Friends premiered in theaters. Directed by Norman Jewison, this romantic comedy stars Burt Reynolds and Goldie Hawn as a successful Hollywood screenwriting couple whose decision to get married complicates their relationship. Featuring strong performances by Jessica Tandy and Audra Lindley as their respective mothers, the film explores the ups and downs of love, family, and commitment.

With its blend of humor and heart, Best Friends resonated with audiences, earning $36.8 million at the box office against a $15 million budget. It remains a charming addition to 80s romantic comedies.
