In Elaine May's second directorial outing, Charles Grodin stars as Lenny, a slick salesman who, while honeymooning with his new bride, Lila (Jeannie Berlin, May's daughter), begins to have second thoughts about his marriage. Once Lenny spots the gorgeous Kelly (Cybill Shepherd), he is lost forever. Legally divesting himself of poor Lila, he follows Kelly to her upper-middle-class home, where he runs into the formidable opposition of her father (Eddie Albert), who states bluntly that he'd rather be dragged from a horse by his tongue than allow Lenny to become his son-in-law. The picture received critical kudos for Neil Simon's adroit screenplay, May's knowing direction, and Grodin's on-target performance. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A newlywed realizes that his wedding was a mistake after falling head over heels for the perfect girl while on his honeymoon in this hilarious comedy, presented on DVD from Anchor Bay Entertainment. Anchor Bay is generally a fairly reliable source for quality DVD releases, but in this case has presented one of the most bare-bones releases to date. Featuring only a standard 1.33:1 full-screen pan-and-scan transfer and an English Dolby Digital Mono soundtrack, this disc features absolutely no extra features. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
