Review

Crystal wears several hats as producer/director/writer/star of this amiable romantic comedy which offers quite a few laughs in Crystal's inimitable comedic style but is also very familiar. The on-again, off-again love affair of Crystal and Winger is told in flashbacks as friends' dinner conversation. When his deceased father's coffin is lost in Paris, NBA ref Crystal meets airline manager Winger; they fall in love, marry and return to the States. But conflicting schedules and misunderstandings sabotage their happiness, and what follows is a series of breakups and reconciliations. More serious in tone than his other romances, Crystal's film does offer many laughs, but it takes longer to get to them. Winger is a delight.
