Soup for One

I found this to be a very funny film, especially the first part of the film, where Allan Martin, played by Saul Rubinek, is seeking his dream girl.

If you remember the disco years and the early years of being single in a metropolitan city, then you may recall how promiscuous singles were. The rub here is that Allan is looking for real love and marriage, not one night stands, which come his way everyday!

Although Christine Baranski has a very funny scene early in the movie, Andrea Martin nearly steals the movie when, as the Concord Seductress, she rapes Allan, giving him blow by blow instructions on how to have sex with her. That scene had me rolling on the floor in fits of uncontrollable laughter, and it alone was enough to drive me in search of this movie, which was not easy to find.

I think Saul Rubinek, Christine Baranski, and Andrea Martin are very talented actors and actresses, and I love their performances in several other movies.

The best part of the movie for me is up to his meeting Maria Giannini, played by Marcia Strassman. Nevertheless, because the first part of the movie is side-splitting and hilarious, I had to give the movie a 10 rating.
