When a newly betrothed stockbroker, a bored housewife, and a lovelorn gourmet cook decide to time-share a Greenwich Village apartment, the stage is set for love, comedy and disaster.
Brian McVeigh (Kevin Anderson) is a coarse, beer-drinking yuppie who has just moved in with his sophisticated fiancee. But he's reluctant to relinquish the lease on his bachelor pad, the comfortable downtown studio in which he hosts wild rowdy parties for his pals. Instead, Brian shares the apartment with Ellen (Annabella Sciorra), a dental hygienist desperate to escape from her provincial husband, and Sam (Matthew Broderick), who's recovering from the emotional wreckage of a recent breakup. Since the trio has never met face to face, they only know one another by their household habits. Inevitably, Ellen confuses Brian for Sam and ends up making the mistake of a lifetime.

Not enough romance or comedy. Cute female lead, though
The first (and last) time I saw this, a decade ago, I quite liked it. I guess my taste has improved somewhat since then. This is a light, fluffy, romantic ... read more »
