Top CriticThe best moments are certainly worth seeing (particularly if, like me, you simply love to see Gene Wilder work) though the film as a whole is screamingly inconsistent.
06/18/03
A shrill, silly farce that starts out with some funny moments but quickly fizzles and ends up being quite lame.

This really just doesn't work.

Even those of us with a longtime and well-earned affection for Gene Wilder have to respond to The World's Greatest Lover ... with a dispirited sigh.

Misfire by Gene Wilder who finds he is not Mel Brooks after all.
