Stars: Leslie Caron, Warren Beatty, Bob Cummings, Kennan Wynn
There's nothing worse than an unfunny comedy, and there are few laughs to be had in this cheap Rom-Com. Before, I labeled The only Game in Town as Warren Beatty's worst movie. Wrong! This is his worst movie. The direction is uninspiring, with the only humor coming from Cummings' child-hating psychologist. The script is thin and even at 98 minutes its outrageously padded-out with endless shots of the cute 2-year old kid - and silly songs from Bikini clad models.
Pros? Its not smutty (despite the soft-porn angle) and Caron is pretty.
Warren Beatty: He's adequate - but his role is surprisingly small and his lines aren't funny. Bob Cummings outshines him. This was another of Beatty's Box Office Bombs before he struck gold with Bonnie and Clyde (1967)
Worst Scene: We spend 5 five minutes on Beatty saving the Kid from an obviously fake runaway crane. No one involved knew how to do slap-stick comedy.
Conclusion: Promise her anything - but this picture. The movie aims for Bohemian charm but fails miserably. Completely forgotten* Promise Her Anything plays like a TV Pilot for a failed Sitcom. Rating 1 out of 4
* It currently has 7 IMDB user reviews and 5.4 rating!
