The Lonely Guy is a 1984 comedy film directed by Arthur Hiller and starring Steve Martin, Charles Grodin, and Judith Ivey. The film is based on the book The Lonely Guy's Book of Life by Bruce Jay Friedman. The movie tells the story of Larry (Steve Martin), a writer who gets dumped by his girlfriend on his birthday. He feels lonely and lost in the big city, trying to find his place in the world. He decides to write a book about his experiences, which leads to his meeting Warren (Charles Grodin), a fellow lonely guy who becomes his friend.

Together they try to find ways to meet women, but they are not very successful. Larry falls in love with Iris (Judith Ivey), a woman he meets in a supermarket, but she is already seeing someone else. Meanwhile, Warren starts dating a woman who only wants to see him in hotels.

Throughout the movie, Larry experiences many hilarious and embarrassing moments, but he never gives up hope. He continues to write his book and tries to find his place in the world.

The Lonely Guy is a funny, charming, and heartwarming movie. Steve Martin delivers a great performance as Larry, who is both pathetic and endearing. Charles Grodin is also excellent as Warren, a neurotic and insecure man who finds comfort in the friendship with Larry.

The movie is full of humor and satire, poking fun at the absurdity and loneliness of modern life. It is also a touching exploration of the human condition, reminding us that we all feel lost and alone sometimes, but there is always hope.

The Lonely Guy is a must-see for fans of Steve Martin and anyone who has ever felt lonely in a crowded world. It is a timeless classic that will make you laugh, cry, and feel good about life.
