A stillborn romantic comedy of staggering ineptitude. Go to Full Review Derek Adams Time Out 06/24/2006

"The Marrying Man" seems to have died en route from Neil Simon's brain to the movie theater, but exactly where and why is anybody's guess. An autopsy by a professional is in order. Go to Full Review Terry Francis Southern Voice (Atlanta) 05/09/2023

Baldwin and Basinger, for all the passion of their reported off screen romance, have virtually no rapport together on screen. They appear to express their contempt for the material by simply walking through their roles. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 06/17/2015

See more Rosana B Dec 28 Alex badwin fazendo um papel canastrão num relacionamento tóxico com traição dupla, embora muito divertido, e engracadinho, ele consegue fazer duas mulheres maravilhosas sofrerem, mesmo tendo o amor delas, do tipo "você é uma excelente cantora e eu sou bom em ser herdeiro", e assim ele pede que ela perca três anos da sua carreira para seguir com ele, bem enojante, "Nós somos homens, quando conquistamos o que queremos enjoamos" e "vc me deve o resto da sua vida" daí para pior... Triste… See more 01/14/2014 It's hard to believe Neil Simon turned out this dud the same year "Lost in Yonkers" won him the Pulitzer Prize. You don't need binoculars to see the plot twists coming ten miles away. See more 04/28/2013 Not a great movie by any standards, and the performances by Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin were over-acted. Kim Basinger can sing pretty well, but the scenes of her singing were not believable. Predictable and formulaic from the start, the movie was more interesting because of the real-life relationship of these two actors than the actual movie itself. See more 03/22/2013 i love love love this movie it is so romantic the love they have for each other. Her singing is great. I just cant tell you how much i love this movie. Everyone should watch it. I wish they would put in on tv more See more 07/23/2012 Not one of Alec Baldwin's finest. See more Read all reviews
