This movie is so funny! It's wacky and girly, and totally dated, but it gives a whole new meaning to the title phrase, and it also gives Kevin Kline the opportunity to try out a new accent. In this one he's Italian, and he's just as hilariously convincing as he was as Luc Teyssier in French Kiss. (And yes, I know this movie came out first.) He plays an Italian pizza parlor owner who can't keep it zipped. He's constantly unfaithful to his wife, Tracey Ullman, and when she finally finds out, it breaks her heart.
Rather than divorce him, because then he'd be free to play around guilt-free, she plots to kill him. It's a much worse punishment, you admit. With her mother, Joan Plowright, a buddy, River Phoenix, and inept hitmen, William Hurt and Keanu Reeves, the task is easier said than done. You've got to rent this silly, somewhat fantastical, comedy. It's odd, and definitely not enjoyable for guys to watch, but us girls will love it. And you'll get to see a cute cameo of Phoebe Cates (Mrs. Kevin Kline) at the disco!
