Forget the flirting
30 April 1999
After seeing an interview with Mary Tyler Moore shortly before the release of this film, I knew this was one film I might want to watch--never. She was literally gushing about a possible resurgence of her career, possibly as a mature sex symbol. But I decided not to overly prejudge based on that one extremely scary thought, so I went to the filmography: Ben Stiller in the lead (ouch), Tea Leoni (argh-thankfully not above the title), directed by David O. Russell (it just gets worse and worse).

Nothing aof any note yet, let's get to the film. Neuroses, uncertainty, more neuroses--support bra humor, vomit humor incessantly crying baby humor. (add Tea Leoni-interruptus). It's like a bad Neil Simon play (that being worse than a regular Neil Simon play).

Sorry kids, but enough is enough. Not even funny in a 15-year old's dreams.

Total elapsed viewing time 11 minutes and 30 seconds.

Alternate title suggestions: Clear and Present Disaster, The Towering Disaster, The Poseidon Disaster, Disaster 1996, Spanking the Disaster, Disaster in Yonkers, Mad About You (whoops already taken by a similar attempt at dysfunctional, neurotic coupled-comedy).
