FUNNY ABOUT LOVE (Theatrical Release USA 1990)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì

Funny About Love examines all the different ways to produce babies and reaches a final conclusion about what has the highest priority in relationships. Surprisingly, the movie casts mostly unknown persons…who can act. This adult film, although slow at times, is worth mentioning for a single viewing.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. Gene Wilder, highly entertaining with a unique blend of acting skill, lends an unusual flavor to this story that makes it worth a single viewing, but the movie doesn’t fly high in comedic value.
