Paul Evans Middle aged Teddy's whole life is turned upside down one Day when he spots the jaw dropping Charlotte. Married with kids, Teddy is prepared to risk everything to satisfy his infatuation with Charlotte.As has already been said by another reviewer, this is a film I was obsessed with growing up. It is so often the case that when you watch something later on in life that you enjoyed in childhood you are often left totally disappointed. I was so impressed by many elements of this film. Gene Wilder is utterly delightful, with such a twinkle in the eye, he's hopeless and entirely lovable. Kelly LeBrock is beauty personified, she does a fine job also. Gilda Rander, as always is perfect. Wonderful music courtesy of Stevie Wonder.It's funny, charming, has a lot going for it. 9/10

SnoopyStyle Teddy Pierce (Gene Wilder) works in a San Francisco ad agency and finds himself on a ledge wondering what went wrong. Four weeks previous, he sees the woman in red Charlotte (Kelly LeBrock) doing the Seven Year Itch dance in the parking lot. He tries to make a date with her despite being happily married to Didi (Judith Ivey) with kids. Miscommunication leads to Ms. Milner (Gilda Radner) getting the call who assumes that she's going on the date. His womanizing friend Joey (Joseph Bologna) loses his wife who takes everything. He continues with plans for the affair anyways while the guys Buddy (Charles Grodin) and Mikey take Joey for a night out. He has second thoughts and stands up Ms. Milner while Charlotte doesn't even know who he is.There is no redeeming Teddy's antics but Gene Wilder gets a few good laughs in. I love Gilda Radner in this when she takes it out on Gene. The movie works best when Teddy gets put down. It doesn't work as much knowing he's lying to his wife. This movie should have more misadventures and hitting Teddy's nuts.

howardeisman If I were teaching a film course, I would show this disaster to start a discussion of why a film could be so bad. The story: Everyman type married guy with buddies who graduated with honors from stereotype school, is obsessed with a model (Kelly LeBrock) who looks like her plastic surgeon got badly distracted while stuffing her lips with some kind of very hard substance. Amazingly, he gets to first base, but... The story has been done many times, and this version is without surprises.The model is meant to induce more than mere desire. The audience has to feel her preternatural appeal for this movie to work. Unfortunately, she acts-and looks-like a robot. That kills the movie plot right there! Any redeeming features? No. No one has any witty lines. Gilda Radner would be funny, but her actions are too mean spirited to generate laughs.

thomas196x2000 Of course I, at the time (along with everyone else), loved the Stevie Wonder song that permeated the airwaves at the time of this movie's release. That song had a sense of sweetness and poignancy to it that didn't match this movie. In fact, they played it as Wilder is calling home prior to (perhaps) cheating on his wife. Nothing like playing a nice song like that at that moment. Hey, I am going to cheat on you, but calling to tell you I love you! All that said, this is a disappointing 80s comedy that has really nothing going for it. A few days after seeing it, you'll likely not remember it. I would have forgotten completely about it save for the Wonder song that is in it.
