In his 1989 autobiography "It Would Be So Nice If You Weren't Here...", Charles Grodin recounts that Neil Simon repeatedly asked for actress Jeannie Berlin to be replaced because he did not find her pretty enough, not realizing that Berlin was the daughter of director Elaine May.

Errores
When he parks his car at the beginning of the movie, the parking ticket mysteriously appears on his windshield immediately after he gets out.

Citas
Lenny Cantrow: This is honest food. There is no lying in that beef. There's no insincerity in those potatoes. There's no deceit in the cauliflower. This is a totally honest meal.

You may just get what you ask for

I saw this when it first came out in 1972 and saw it again recently on cable. One way to know a classic is how well it dates itself, not just in the vernacular, but philosophically. How timeless are the themes it portrays and how well could anyone from any time period relate to them? In fact, of The Heartbreak Kid it could be said that a lot of the shock value of a man dumping his bride on their honeymoon will be lost on a generation that would wonder why he would want to married at all. Well at least the title character believes in firm commitments, as long as it is with the right girl. The point of the whole movie is the somewhat subtle ending that depicts a man who, despite the odds against him, got the girl of his dreams, but somehow dosn't find it nearly as satisfying as he would have thought.

This a terrific piece of script writing, with many memorable lines you love to quote...a sure sign of a very good movie.
