Even though he is happily married to gorgeous Stevens, Matthau, coached by Morse, plans to cheat on her because, as one character explains, if you have steak every night, sometimes you want to have chicken. The premise has possibilities but the episodic script is almost completely devoid of laughs. A who's who cast of comedy stars illustrates the fine art of cheating through brief skits, but the only bits that are even mildly amusing are the ones featuring Caesar and Bishop. Kelly doesn't help matters with his amateurish direction, marked by so many zoom shots that it is nausea-inducing. The only thing this lame movie has going for it is an abundance of attractive women.
