unlabelledView 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 📽

unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView 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!
unlabelledView 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)
unlabelledView post →The Heartbreak Kid. getting this on a proper disc fully restored would send the entire film community into a frenzy at this point.

unlabelledView 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.

unlabelledView post →Watched Elaine May's 1972 Charles Grodin schmuck movie "The Heartbreak Kid". Here's a fascinating piece about why you can't watch it. (Legitimately.) #Filmsky www.theguardian.com/film/2022/ma....
unlabelledView post →Elaine May actually requested a copy of this movie for casting on THE HEARTBREAK KID to convince the producers that her daughter, Jeannie Berlin (The Girl), could act in that movie. #SpaceApeCinema

unlabelledView 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 🤮
unlabelledView 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.

unlabelledView 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.

unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView 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.

unlabelledView post →Some studies from The Heartbreak Kid (1972). Movie stills are really fun to learn from. What are you favorite study subjects? #artmoots
unlabelledView 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
unlabelledView 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...
unlabelledView post →New episode of the pod out now! Is THE HEARTBREAK KID (2007) a Dad Movie? Maybe, but it was definitely better when I was 12.
unlabelledView post →50th, 100th movie I saw etc: Sheila Levine Is Dead And Living In New York (not great), Little Darlings (fantastic), Neil Young Trunk Show (curious), The Heartbreak Kid (fav movie ever), Lisa Frankenstein (so fun!), The Duke Of Burgundy (a fav), DARYL (woof,) Thunder On The Hill (a whonunnit!)
unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView 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.

unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView 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
unlabelledView post →The Heartbreak Kid. Only theater movie I’ve walked out of.
unlabelledView 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
unlabelledView 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
unlabelledView post →lol I mean the HEARTBREAK KID one isn't entirely off-base, but that's why it's a five-star movie
unlabelledView 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!
unlabelledView 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

unlabelledView 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).
