QuickView
Story-line: looks like Leonard and Lila will make a great couple… if they can just survive their honeymoon!
Pluses: wonderful acting (especially by the above-mentioned trio and a very cranky Eddie Albert), able direction, a funny story by Bruce Jay Friedman and Neil Simon.
Minuses: none whatsoever.
Comments: in THE HEARTBREAK KID, there is a place for everything and everything’s in its place. This is what a successful comedy should look and feel like… it goes with the flow instead of forcing the issues. Wait till Charles Grodin drives you up the wall!
