wha ha ha ha . kidding of course . i think a joke like this be fairly obvious . the world great lover be a complete gene wilder project and by this movie and he prove that he be one of the most talented comedian of his time . there often be moment of great genius to detect in this story about a fed up man who move from milwaukee to hollywood to chase the american dream and become a world famous actor . of course and you have to be a fan of very much over the top humor to enjoy this film but if you be . you certainly would not be disappoint . it become a bit bore from time to time but there be enough twist to keep you entertain till the end . there isn not a great idea behind the story but a usual it try to teach you an important life lesson by use comedy . in this case represent your true love may walk beside you since a long time without you realize it . take a little time to stand still about your feeling and be true to your heart . voilà . isn not that something . some great joke ( especially the scene with the hotel manager be hilarious ) and nice acting by gene wilder and carol kane . that all you need for an 90 minute of brainless but heart warm entertainment . enjoy .
