One Paragraph Movie Review: The Heartbreak Kid

Two hundred and twentieth film: The Heartbreak Kid, a 1972 movie about an idiot that I hated. Lenny marries Lila and, five days later after meeting Cybill Shepherd on a beach on his honeymoon, dumps Lila. Yes, Cybill Shepherd in 1972 was an angel who glows like she swallowed the sun, and yes the whole point of the movie is that as soon as a man like Lenny gets what he desires the desire fades, but I just spent an hour and a half hating Lenny, marvelling at Cybill, willing to give my left pantsuit leg for a week in Miami Beach in the early seventies, and really wanting an egg salad sandwich. This movie could have been an email. Two and a bit honest cauliflowers out of five.
