Skip it. This 1991 Neil Simon comedy has a promising premise—forced marriage between a playboy and a nightclub singer, courtesy of Bugsy Siegel—but it's strangled by uneven pacing and schmaltzy execution. Even with Neil Diamond on the soundtrack and a game cast, it lands somewhere between stale sitcom and forgettable rom-com.

Plot

Charley Pearl, wealthy heir and gadabout, is slated to marry Adele, the daughter of a Hollywood tycoon. But, during a wild bachelor party in Las Vegas, Charley strikes up a flirtation with nightclub crooner Vicki Anderson that soon leads to her bedroom. When the couple are discovered by Vicki's beau, infamous gangster Bugsy Siegel, he makes a surprising pronouncement -- they'd better marry, or Charley is a dead man.
