"So, what do you do? You get a fixation on a - beautiful young girl. A vision, I think, was your description. And I suspect - for your total vision - a virgin." - Dr. Croce

Why watch this? This is director Blake Edwards' funniest movie.

Plot Summary: A Hollywood composer, George Webber, experiencing a mid-life crisis, becomes infatuated with a beautiful young woman he spots on her wedding day. He becomes obsessed, and eventually follows her to Mexico where she is honeymooning with her new husband. His pursuit leads him to confront his own anxieties and desires.
 

Dad's Preview: This is a great reference guide for the male curse known as the "mid-life crisis". The title correctly implies that the film's central topic is a perfect, blonde bombshell. Her name is Bo Derek. However, this romantic dramedy is more about the idea of her, as fantasized by middle-aged songwriter, George Webber. He is an ungrateful man, so insane about what he wants, that he can't see what he has. This has several laugh-out-loud moments. It was Dudley Moore's breakout film, and he plays an adorable drunk better than most. The film's ending will probably not go as you imagined.
