Successful comedy.
Funny situations, neatly worked out, with prime dialogues and an excellent Danny De Vito.
Bette Midler, in the role of the unwanted wife, is also really comical and really only really angry when her "market value" drops. And that's funny too.

Shame the comedies aren't made at this level anymore, you'll roll from one side of the couch to the other with laughter! At least for a large part of the viewers, especially boyfriend DeVito is on a roll. An entertaining man anyway, when you see him you have to laugh. Those "backhanded tricks" of his and how he tries to talk his way out of it. One of the best actors in this genre I've known! For this film really only praise and our rating was an average of 8.

On the 3rd time he still doesn't get bored.
