Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

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.

pupo250 I get rid of American remake of brilliant European movies. Why not watch the original ? In this case the french movie is much more funny and also the actors are better chosen. And also the french title : "Un elephant SA -trompe- "énormément", contains such "finesse" that is impossible to translate in any other language. If you liked this movie, you never will enjoy an European movie. Just for the record; I'm a fan of Gene Wilder but he is so stupid and unbelievable The original is one of the best french comedies of the 20th century. pf this review is too long pf this review is too long don't know what ti write morepf this review is too long pf this review is too long don't know what ti write more

rhrunge This movie came to mind out of a somewhat unrelated office conversation. I recall this movie as being lighthearted and funny. Wow, one of the reviews here was REALLY rough....As funny as cancer?? Wow. I'm not going to bash someone else's review, but I think everyone's had an infatuation at one time or another. And his attempt to "cheat" ....(was he daydreaming? I forget)....totally backfires in a comedy of errors. To say that this movie was blueprint for how to cheat on your wife is like saying Stripes was a blueprint for how to screw up in the army or Tootsie was a blueprint for how to cross-dress your way onto a soap opera. Kelly LeBrock was the it girl of the moment and the Stevie Wonder soundtrack kept the movie fun and upbeat.

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.
