About The Heartbreak Kid
Three days into his Miami honeymoon with needy and unsophisticated Lila, Lenny meets tall, blonde Kelly. This confirms his fear that he has made a serious mistake and he decides he wants to be with Kelly instead.
Directed by Elaine May, The Heartbreak Kid leans on a strong ensemble — Charles Grodin, Cybill Shepherd, Jeannie Berlin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 1972.
