"Now listen here, Teddy Bear. Four weeks ago, I met a cute, available, old-fashioned guy who liked horse riding. In one month you got married, you had two daughters and you can't ride a horse to save your life!" - Charlotte

Why watch this? Five years after "10", Gene Wilder gives us another look at mid-life woes.

Plot Summary: When a happily married family man, Teddy, who would never consider an affair, meets a beautiful woman in red, Charlotte, he is totally infatuated and desperate to make her acquaintance. However, as he tries out various schemes to sneak out to meet her, he realizes that adultery is not quite as easy as it looks.

Dad's Preview: Apparently the top two things men did in the mid-80s were smoke and cheat on their spouses. I mean, seriously, the middle-aged men in this film are immature, self-centered, scheming liars. This remake of the 1976 French film Pardon Mon Affaire does, however, explore the perils of lying and planning a tryst with the beautiful, much-younger model who's wandering through your parking garage. Written and directed by Wilder himself, the film is a bit hokey at times and the comedy is dated, but that's not to say there are not some funny moments (Wilder's horse-riding adventure in the park comes to mind). Honestly, Gilda Radnor gives the best performance. Stevie Wonder composed the film's soundtrack, and won an Oscar for Best Song, "I Just Called to Say I Love You." It was also one of the first films to show full frontal nudity.
