The Lonely Guy is a 1984 comedy film directed by Arthur Hiller and starring Steve Martin as Larry Hubbard, a writer for a greeting card company who discovers that his girlfriend has been cheating on him with another man.
Devastated by the betrayal, Larry struggles to cope with his newfound loneliness, navigating the ups and downs of being single in the big city. He tries everything from going to therapy to attending group therapy sessions for other lonely people, but nothing seems to offer him any solace.
As he spirals deeper into despair, however, Larry finds unexpected companionship in the form of Warren Evans (Charles Grodin), a fellow lonely guy he meets at a restaurant. Together, they commiserate over their failed relationships and try to make sense of their predicament.
Despite some initially humorous misadventures, such as getting evicted from his apartment and accidentally breaking into a funeral home, Larry eventually starts to find his feet again. He starts dating a beautiful woman named Iris (Judith Ivey) and begins to regain his confidence as a writer.
In the end, Larry comes to realize that while he may still feel lonely at times, he is not alone in his loneliness. The film sends a message of hope and resilience, reminding us that even in the darkest of times, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
