This is a terrific comedy but it is a bit unusual. There aren't a lot of BIG laughs. But there's a lot of small character moments that resonate and tend to grow funnier on repeat viewings.

I liked it better than the Ben Stiller remake. Neal Simon's script is classic. Charles Grodin is tortured yet funny and Cybill Shepherd is just great.

I just finished watching the new Heartbreak Kid(2007),and it nearly broke my heart. Its a below average movie that has little in common with the original,except for the title. The acting is superb in the original,with Eddie Albert nearly stealing the show. If you haven't seen the original Heartbreak Kid,you have a real treat waiting for you,and I envy you. Excellent film.
I bought The Heartbreak Kid (1972) because I had seen it once before and thought the story and acting were excellent. So, when I saw the remake starring Ben Stiller and was very disappointed, I decided to go on ebay and buy the original to enjoy again. I thought Charles Grodin was outstanding. And Jeanne Berlin was wonderful. And I appreciated the movie even more than when I first saw it since I gained some years of wisdom since its first release.
Combining pathos and humour , this is an insightful comedy of manners that is timeless, acted by a superb cast.
