The Heartbreak Kid

Following their joyously Jewish nuptials in New York, the newlyweds set off for their honeymoon in sunny Miami. But, before they can acclimatise, the nebbish groom starts to tire of his bride, and his attentions shift to glistening shiksa goddess Kelly, effortlessly embodied by ’70s golden girl Cybill Shepherd. While the hapless Lila languishes at the resort, Lenny pursues his new prize. Buoyed by career-defining performances from her stars, May brings to vivid life Neil Simon’s script (her sophomore film being the only one she didn’t write) with acerbic humour that builds to a cackle-inducing fever pitch. The Heartbreak Kid more than earns its spot on the AFI’s list of the 100 funniest American films ever made.
