Teddy is a middle-aged man who has a good wife, kids, friends, and a fine job.
You could say that he has everything he wants; but he doesn't.
One day he sees a gorgeous woman in a red dress, and becomes instantly infatuated with the model.
He must have her...
Gene Wilder is one of those actors you could watch reading the phone directory, he's warm, funny, and very convincing. So even when you know he has also written and directed this poor excuse for a film, you cannot help but enjoy it just a little, because he is magnetic on screen.
So he becomes obsessed with Le Brock after she has danced on an air vent.
That's the get up of the whole film, but it cannot decide whether its a spoof of romantic movies, a deprecating parody of promiscuity, or just an all out dumb comedy.
The more serious tones of the film, like marriage break ups and loneliness, do not sit right in the film, and Le Brock proves that she is just a pretty face, she cannot act, and I doubt Seagal gave her lessons.
All In all, it's more of a vanity project for Wilder, making him appear irresistible to a woman, who wouldn't look at another man his age.
At least the soundtrack is good.
