An enjoyable Manhattan melodrama with great performances from an excellent couple : Steve Martin, Goldie Hawn , as they play a likable Midwestern marriage , including laughters , funny incidents , amusement and entertainment . Neal Simon's script is , as always , both fun and wholesome. Steve Martin's acting is magnificent and Goldie Hawn is nice , as well . As Steve Martin suffers the mounting indignities with the skill acquired from acting urban neurotics for most his career . They are well accompanied by a fine support cast , such as : John Cleese, Cynthia Nixon, Joe Grifasi, Jack McGee, Josh Mostel , Sabella and even Mayor Rudolph Giuliani . It was remake of classic 1970 by Arthur Hiller with Jack Lemmon , Sandy Dennis .

The motion picture was competently directed by Sam Wesisman but with no originaly , because of being a simply copy from a very better original. Sam is a good craftsman who made all kinds of genres with penchant for comedy and drama . Weisman was born in New York, and attended Yale University, where he began acting in and directing plays. He then started working as an actor on the New York stage and, moving to Los Angeles, took a recurring role in TV comedy series 'Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman'. After several other television roles he took up directing such shows as 'Moonlighting' and 'L. A. Law' and in 1994 made his big screen debut with the sequel to 'The Mighty Ducks' titled "D2: The Mighty Ducks¨, and other comedies as ¨George of the jungle¨, ¨Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star¨, ¨Bye bye love¨, ¨What's the Worst That Could Happen?¨ . Rating : 6/10. Decent and acceptable comedy . The movie will appeal to comedy enthusiasts and Steve Martin , Goldie Hawn fans .
