I recommend Kiss Me, Stupid to the skeptical with no reservations whatsoever.

Kiss Me, Stupid is unlikely to inspire a Broadway musical, top an AFI poll, or birth a hundred-dollar coffee-table book, but it could burnish Wilder's posthumous reputation.
J. Hoberman, Village Voice

Murray Schumach, New York Times
