Summary:
A newlywed man on his honeymoon has second thoughts about his marriage and falls for a different woman.
Eddie Albert's Oscar-nominated slow burn as the loathing father in The Heartbreak Kid is the funniest portrayal of Midwestern WASP-ism in movie history. [08 Feb 2002]
May's second feature is a funny and sometimes side-splitting film whose whole never approaches the success of its best moments in which the two levels of romantic fantasy and satire are reconciled. [28 Dec 1972, p.53]
[May] has a knack for defusing the pain without killing the joke.
