This is one of my all time light-hearted favorites! Davis (Steve Martin) is a single architect who has been in love with Becky all of his life. But when he proposes marriage to her with a dream house he has built for them to live in she turns him down flat, as he does not meet her expectations for husband material- too much of a dreamer (so she says). While trying to get over Becky, Davis pours out his heart to Gwen (Goldie Hawn), a waitress, who lives a very unconventional life based on... lies... When he tells her about his recent rejection by Becky and the house he built for them that is now empty, Gwen moves into the house and begins a new life as "Mrs. Davis-" unannounced to him, of course. Once he discovers her plot everyone in town, including Becky and even his parents believe that he and Gwen are married. The results are a quite funny and enjoyable 90 minutes. This is definitely and oldie, but a goodie! It is one of my favorites to doze off with when I can't fall asleep at night. The only problem with this movie is that throughout the show everyone keeps referring to Davis as "wild," "impulsive," "crazy" and so forth. However, the character of Davis is always wearing dockers and a tie... and seems anything but wild and crazy... I just don't buy it. Still a great movie though.Read full review
Fun flick with Steve Martin & Goldie Hawn. Dana Delaney is unsettlingly obsessive & convincing in her part. Funny until the end.

I love this movie. I've always loved this movie. All of Steve Martin movies (except that movie he made with Queen Latifah)are great. This movie was made in the early 90's but it's the kind of movie that has no timeline. It has a lovely, clear moving forward plot. The ending is uplifting and appropriate.
I have to admit, I ordered this VHS by accident. I had meant to order the DVD for my dad because he doesn't own a VCR. However, I absolutely love this movie and have kept the VHS for myself and ordered is on DVD for him. ^.^
This is one of the funnest old movies that I love. Goldie Hawn & Steve Martin are great together! A great Laugh and perfect ending!
This is a very cute, charming and creative romance comedy. I watched it over and over again. It's what makes dreams come true.
Great funny, family movie. Love Goldie & Steve Martin together. I bought this movie for one of my collections.
This is a junk movie with junk actors in it. If you want to get bored than you need to watch this movie.
