    • Quotes

      Peter Edward Wilson: [aside, to audience, about speaker of overheard comment] Author of "Kiss Me, Kill Me, Buy Me, Love Me", I think that's the title. Or possibly it's "Buy Me, Take Me, Cut Me, Burn Me". I don't know, but at any rate you get the idea. It's a romantic novel.

    Entertaining, touching at times
    Very cute, with clever interweaving of cartoon and live action ( particularly for an older movie. Lemmon does an outstanding job, as does Gerritsen. Many endearing scenes, peppered with mostly good fun throughout.
