"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 "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 comedy drama is more about the idea of her, as fantasized the middle-aged songwriter, George Webber, an ungrateful man, so insane about what he wants, that he can't see what he has. This superb flick has several laugh-out-loud moments. This was Moore's breakout film, and nobody plays an adorable drunk better than he can. The film's ending will more than likely surprise you.
