Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers, known as the Shmeyers, created influential comedies focusing on female characters, beginning with Private Benjamin, which revitalized Goldie Hawn's career.
Their script for Private Benjamin was rejected by many studios until it became a success, leading to Paramount admitting its mistake and acknowledging their poor judgment.
Shyer and Meyers showcased strong narratives around complex female roles and relationships, evident in Irreconcilable Differences, where a child's perspective of divorce provided both humor and depth.
Their filmography, reflective of a lighthearted yet insightful take on family and relationships, has cemented their legacy as pivotal figures in Hollywood comedies.
