The Out-Of-Towners (1999)

EW's GRADE
C-

Details Rated: PG-13; Genre: Comedy; With: Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin

Don't hate yourself for chuckling at this sweetly anachronistic update of the 1970 Neil Simon comedy. As hapless Midwesterners making their screwball way through big, bad New York City, Martin and Hawn may tend toward the hokey, but in these There's Something About Mary times, isn't it nice to know that broad comedy isn't all just fart jokes and bodily emissions? Reel Goodies (1:11) High on a hallucinogen, Martin frolics through Central Park to the strains of ''Aquarius.'' The Last Detail How apropos: Sex and the City's Cynthia Nixon appears as a recovering nymphomaniac.
