7/10
Harmless, enjoyable, Mike Myers movie.

Warning: Spoilers
What if a commitment phobic man met a woman that everybody was crazy about, including him? What if she had killed her three husbands? What if he could be number four? Mike Meyers and Nancy Travis are the happy couple. Both are fine, but Anthony LaPaglia steals the movie. His action seeking cop has many amusing scenes with Meyers and with Alan Arkin as LaPaglia's fuzzy warm boss. The scene at Alcatraz between LaPaglia and Meyers with a cameo by Phil Hartman and the wedding scene are funny. Amanda "Honey Bunny" Plummer is creepy as Travis' sister. Brenda Fricker, Charles Grodin, Debi Mazar, and Steven "K-Billy" Wright are effective in smaller roles. This is a fun movie, although it does not match Wayne's World or the Austin Powers films. Worth a look for Mike Myers and Anthony LaPaglia fans.
