neutral · AI labelView post →It sure looks like I’ve got another three movies, three days stretch. The Heartbreak Kid at the Music Box Saturday, probably back there for Fantasia Sunday, then to Alamo Monday for a real favorite, In a Lonely Place. (Gloria Grahame in that film: 🔥🔥🔥🔥.)

Despite its idiotic title, I always loved this brutally funny story of a man who falls in love/lust with a young beauty on his honeymoon. Eddie Albert & Jeannie Berlin recieved Oscar noms. #filmsky 📽

neutral · AI labelView post →Alert for Chicagoans (and those nearby), @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social has an Elaine May matinee series that includes a one-off screening of a 35mm print if the incredible The Heartbreak Kid. Through a series of mergers, the film is owned by a pharmaceutical company, so catching the print is rare.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve completed the Elaine May bio through the chapter on “A New Leaf” (1971). Very interesting read so far on someone I used to know almost nothing about. Now I have to wait to continue reading until I have a chance to watch her next film “The Heartbreak Kid” (1972) — hopefully soon!
neutral · AI labelView post →wrote about Elaine May's sadistic cringe genius in The Heartbreak Kid. which is incredibly uncomfortable to watch and one of my favorite films. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/the-most-p...
positive · AI labelView post →Was reading about the brilliant Elaine May, and realised I’d never seen The Heartbreak Kid, the 1972 black comedy she directed, written by Neil Simon and starring Charles Grodin and Cybill Shepherd. Quite the pedigree. So I thought I’d get hold of a copy. (1/3)
neutral · AI labelView post →The Heartbreak Kid. getting this on a proper disc fully restored would send the entire film community into a frenzy at this point.

neutral · AI labelView post →What's your favorite film set in the place where you live? 🎞️🎞️ High on my list would be Elaine May's THE HEARTBREAK KID (1972), which is a hilarious & criminally underseen satire that's been in rights limbo since it was acquired by the pharmaceutical co. Bristol-Myers Squibb.

neutral · AI labelView post →A guy I dated for a few weeks - he was nice, just no chemistry - took me to see the latest Ben Stiller comedy. It ended up being a remake of The Heartbreak Kid, probably the most mean spirited, unfunny film I’ve seen my entire life with some of the most nauseating “gross out” gags to boot 🤮
negative · AI labelView post →The Heartbreak Kid - Can't think of a more perfect way to end my festival run. Wish my first movie was The Mastermind because Reichardt definitely references this.

neutral · AI labelView post →Happy Birthday, Jeannie Berlin! This actress, known for her work in film and television, turns 77 today. She earned an Oscar nomination for her memorable turn in her mother Elaine May’s classic ‘70s comedy The Heartbreak Kid, which we will cover on the Supporting Actress Series!
neutral · AI labelView post →The horses out back are neighing and I didn't even have to say "Blucher" (oh, there they go again...), so yeah, I would love my favorite movie comedy/first black & white movie to make it. Either A NEW LEAF or THE HEARTBREAK KID would be a totally sound/great Elaine May pick, but I'd go HEARTBREAK.

neutral · AI labelView post →Also everyone on here for Charles Grodin & Elaine May's shared birthday today are talking about their movie "The Heartbreak Kid." It's a great movie, but I am also going to unabashedly shout out "Ishtar." Elaine May wrote & directed it. Grodin has a hilarious role. It got a bad rap. It is so funny.
positive · AI labelView post →Elaine May's movie THE HEARTBREAK KID (1972) with Charles Grodin ended up being acquired by the pharmaceutical company Bristol-Myers Squibb in the 1970s. They decided to make an entertainment division (!) They dissolved the division shortly after, locking its distribution rights in permanent limbo.

neutral · AI labelView post →It's a film in the fine tradition of The Heartbreak Kid, where following your dream and succeeding at it ruins your own life and that of everyone's around you
neutral · AI labelView post →Super excited to finally see THE HEARTBREAK KID. Puzzled how an Elaine May retrospective can overlook MIKEY AND NICKY, though, the best movie ever. www.upstatefilms.org/the-heartbre...

positive · AI labelView post →Finally watched enough movies to qualify for Letterboxd Friday's last four watched. Still thinking about the brilliance of The Heartbreak Kid and Jeannie Berlin's performance.
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched "The Heartbreak Kid" at Austin Film Society Cinema last night. The original, not the 2007 reboot. It's hard to create moments that make you laugh, cringe, and feel a twinge of sadness at the same time, but that movie did it over and over again for me.

neutral · AI labelView post →Recently watched the HEARTBREAK KID for the first time. Great film. Superb performances. Something I especially appreciate is it’s one of those films you can’t fully assess until it’s over.
positive · AI labelView post →@nberlat.bsky.social By the way your review of 'The Heartbreak Kid' reiterated my desire to NEVER see the movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Heartbreak Kid is mine. Possibly the worst Farrelly Brothers movie and to top it off there was a parent with a kid in the theater and this was a excessively raunchy R rated movie which made it even worse
negative · AI labelView post →The Heartbreak Kid. Only theater movie I’ve walked out of.
negative · AI labelView post →546 - The Heartbreak Kid Definitely one of the most cynical uses of "Close to You" I've ever heard. I saw the remake first. This is a completely different film with almost nothing in common, though the remake uses the original ending this had with him in the same situation again 🌟 #1001Movies
neutral · AI labelView post →@bristolmyerssquibb.bsky.social I will pay you $100 for rights to Elaine May's 1972 film The Heartbreak Kid, which you own and apparently do nothing with
neutral · AI labelView post →lol I mean the HEARTBREAK KID one isn't entirely off-base, but that's why it's a five-star movie
positive · AI labelView post →Such an excellent film. It’s either this or The Heartbreak Kid as my favorite May film. So talented, so versatile, you’re so right! She should have had the world!
positive · AI labelView post →Best film probably Nickel Boys. Best rewatched films: The Heartbreak Kid, A New Leaf, Godfather 1 & 2, Late Spring, Ran, This is Spinal Tap
positive · AI labelView post →Introduce yourself using the one food you refuse to eat, the one movie you'll never watch again, and the one song you can't stand: Food: Haggis Movie: The Heartbreak Kid (2007) Song: Bohemian Rhapsody
negative · AI labelView post →Tonight's Mystery Movie at Eden Court, Inverness was Elaine May's first film as a director - the excellent A New Leaf. Walter Matthau and Elaine May are terrific together (and I would love to screen The Heartbreak Kid one day).

The Heartbreak Kid - absolute genius. Toni Erdmann - I didn't like this movie at first but the last 40 mins won me over! 📽️🎬
