Editorial Review:
"Hot gets you into trouble," cautions high-living 1940s-era playboy Alec Baldwin. He doesn't know the half of it. Days before his marriage to Hollywood studio heiress Elisabeth Shue, he falls madly in bed with shapely lounge singer Kim Basinger and ends up in an unlikely shotgun marriage. They divorce, they remarry, they divorce, they... you get the picture. Baldwin, all cool confidence in his sharp suits, and Basinger, who looks poured into her stylish, curve-hugging gowns, fell in love while shooting this 1991 film. Unfortunately their onscreen chemistry, apart from a couple of simmering bedroom scenes, is anything but combustible.
Neil Simon based his original screenplay on a real-life Hollywood story of l'amour fou, but even in his hands the ping-ponging romance feels contrived. Without that troublesome heat of uncontrollable passion, this amiable comic drama winds up lukewarm. --Sean Axmaker
The Marrying Man [Region 2] Reviews:
The Marrying Man 
2009-12-21 - I had this old favorite on VHS, which is worn out. So I was glad to have it on DVD. If you're a fan of Alec Baldwin and his ex-wife Kim Basinger you'll love this old movie. This is when they were young, open, and fun loving! This movie is about being foolish in lust and love all at the same time!
Fun Movie 
2009-09-10 - This is simply a fun movie to watch and it proves that Alec Baldwin is one of the truly underated actors of his generation
the marrying man 
2009-08-04 - product was in excellent condition and the movie was great. I have NEVER had any type of problems ordering from Amazon. Once again, thank you
Good movie 
2009-05-24 - This movie is really cute and funny. Its sad that there no longer together, you see what a great couple they make. This movie is enjoyable and fun!!!
A Fun, Romantic Musical Comedy. 
2006-08-24 - This adaptation of Neil Simon's play will never be a classic film, but if you can get it cheap, I recommend it highly. There are worse romantic comedies you could waste your time on, but this one is nostalgic and genuinely glamourous fun. It's a great escape from all the current situation settings in similar films.
Charlie Pearl (Alec Baldwin), multi-millionaire, is about to marry movie honcho Lou Horner's (Robert Loggia) daughter until his friends take him to Vegas for a bachelor party, and he falls for club singer Vickie Anderson (Kim Basinger), who also happens to be Bugsy Siegel's (Armand Assante) girlfriend. It's a wild ride between a millionaire playboy and a fast nightclub singer that involves 4 marriages and 3 divorces. It won't change your world, but it certainly is fun, the costumes are excellent, and the soundtrack is among my favorites. Check it out.
