      Audience Member A terrible terrible movie... and it even has Walter Matthau in it. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member a hollywood satire based on charles grodin's own troubles when he was assigned to adapt the sex manual joy of sex. his screenplay didn't satisfy the heads at paramount. so he was stuck with his own script. it took grodin 7 years to bring this film to the screen and it's a real hoot with a great cast and funny sex puns. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Stumbles around like an inexperieced first timer.
