Directed by Thomas Schlamme • 1993 • United States
Starring Mike Myers, Nancy Travis, Anthony LaPaglia
Mike Myers brings his outlandish comic absurdism to this offbeat, cult-favorite rom-com. He’s Charlie, the commitment-phobic San Francisco poet whose love life has largely been a disaster—until he meets Harriet (Nancy Travis), a local butcher who might just be “the one.” But as the evidence piles up that Harriet may be the notorious serial killer Mrs. X, Charlie begins to fear that his honeymoon may also be his funeral. The parade of cameos includes memorable appearances from the likes of Alan Arkin, Charles Grodin, Phil Hartman, and others.
