Mild spoilers below. This film is not very highly regarded, and there are some good reasons for that, but I enjoyed it a great deal.
Demi Moore was the wrong choice for the lead role. Her Southern accent is shaky, and her down-home folksiness can irritate. I don't like Andie MacDowell much but she might have been a better choice. At least her accent wouldn't have leapt all over the map.
However the supporting cast are mostly excellent, with interesting and quirky New York characters. I loved the psychiatric patient with the bowler hat, whose sessions keep getting interrupted. The plot is classic Woody Allen, a farcical series of partner-swapping japes, and the script is tight and funny. There are some great lines, for example: "I'm not a homewrecker! Well... that's not true... But I don't want to wreck YOUR home. I like your wife too much". And then later, from another character: "Why are you f'ing with my life"- to which the response comes back: "I never touched her!" There were parts of this film that were syrupy, but with the acidic script it avoided sugar-coma for the most part. At the end of the film, I was amused and touched. It's a fun watch, and I recommend it.
