Overview
Reuben Feffer is a guy who's spent his entire life playing it safe. Polly Prince is irresistible as a free-spirit who lives for the thrill of the moment. When these two comically mismatched souls collide, Reuben's world is turned upside down, as he makes an uproarious attempt to change his life from middle-of-the-road to totally-out-there.

Like the rest of today's alleged comedies that are never funny, this one pretends to be hip, but lacks every semblance of intelligence and depends on the basest common instincts in the kindergarten I.Q. for laughs.
Rex Reed, New York Observer

A movie where love means diarrhea.

Rotten
One of those films that celebrate spontaneity and risk-taking yet are so formulaic and un-risky that they strangle their own message.

I ... laughed myself sick.
