Charley Pearl (Alec Baldwin) is a lazy playboy that spends days with his friends, fast cars and nights in nightclubs. While he is engaged to Adele Horner (Elisabeth Shue), the daughter of Hollywood tycoon Lew Horner (Robert Loggia), he spends a night with his buddies in a Las Vegas nightclub and meets sultry Vicky Anderson (Kim Basinger), a torch singer that makes him change his mind on his dream woman. Since Vicky is conscious of the fact that Charlie has the hots for her she leaves the window open and lets Charlie have a one night stand, but unfortunately they are found by her boyfriend Bugsy Siegel that forces them to marry. And so they end up divorcing, remarriyng, having kids, divorcing, remarrying, buying a big house in the woods, divorcing, and the same things mentioned again and again. This is basically the plot of the movie.
You might wonder how with such a cast and especially the beautiful pairing of Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin (that met during filming of this movie) this movie is a bomb. Well, the fault is mostly of the writer that put the setting for the movie on a continuous loop. After Charlie meets Vicky the movie is simply a repetition of the same things again and again. It becomes tiresome and I personally, after a while, I was only hoping that the movie would have ended soon.
However, worth watching movie only if you have really nothing to do or if you have very low standards. Otherwise, don't bother. The leads have made so many better movies.
