Considering this was Written, Produced, and Directed by Carl Reiner, who had done some great work on TV, I expected something funny. Maybe in 1967 based on his 1963 play, but not today. Most of the story was predictable for comedies of that time period. A proven comedian in the lead might have helped. I see that Alan Arkin played the role on stage, but the late Reni Santoni just wasn't funny. And most of the supporting cast played predictable roles too.
Considering it came out the same year as "The Producers", it fails badly by comparison.
