"The Marrying Man" seems to have died en route from Neil Simon's brain to the movie theater, but exactly where and why is anybody's guess. An autopsy by a professional is in order. Go to Full Review

The lack of momentum ensures that the movie runs out of steam long before it reaches its inevitable conclusion... Go to Full Review
