prejudicaram as gravações com atrasos e estrelismo acarretando num custo adicional milionário para a produção e gerando uma antipatia por parte dos envolvidos em trabalhar com as primadonnas.<br />Disseram que o casal não tinha química e com a ajuda dos envolvidos na produção as informações sobre os bastidores foram passadas aos críticos que massacraram nas reviews. Bassinger chegou a ser indicada ao "Framboesa de Ouro", mas perdeu.</p><p>Dito tudo isso, longe de tudo o que foi falado, o problema foi excesso de química entre o casal. Casal fictício que virou casal de verdade dois anos depois, os atrasos eram excesso de química sendo extravasado nos camarins.</p><p>Bassinger e Baldwin interpretaram personagens muito perto das suas essências o que contradiz frontalmente algum problema de atuação.</p> </div> <p class="like-link-target react-component -monotone" data-component-class="globals.comps.LikeLinkComponent" data-likeable-uid="viewing:660092183" data-likeable-name="review" data-likeable="true" data-element-type="p" data-likes-page="/rodrgohomsi/film/the-marrying-man/likes/" data-format="svg" data-count="69" data-owner="RodrgoHomsi" > <span class="svg-action -like"></span> </p> </div> </li> <li class="film-detail" data-viewing-id="412077293" data-person="silverscreen101"> <a class="avatar -a40" href="/silverscreen101/" > <img src="https://a.ltrbxd.com/resized/avatar/upload/3/0/3/5/0/9/5/shard/avtr-0-80-0-80-crop.jpg?v=8594072f4e" alt="Josh Gillam" width="40" height="40" /> </a> <div class="film-detail-content"> <div class="attribution-block -large"> <p class="attribution"> <a href="/silverscreen101/film/the-marrying-man/" class="context" title="Read Josh Gillam’s review"> Review by <strong class="name">Josh Gillam</strong> </a> <span class="rating -green rated-5"> ★★½ </span> </p> </div> <div class="body-text -prose collapsible-text" data-full-text-url="/s/full-text/viewing:412077293/"> <div class="collapsed-text"> <p>In the 1940s, soon-to-be-married heir Charley (Alec Baldwin) meets and falls for singer Vicki (Kim Basinger), setting off years of ups and downs for the unlikely pair, in this period romantic comedy. </p><p>It’s a throwback to the sorts of movies made when this story’s set, spinning a lightweight romantic fable as Charley & Vicki’s mercurial relationship ebbs and flows over the years.

The jokes don’t land and the characters are uninteresting, but it’s that exceptionally uncharismatic performance by Kim Basinger that really does this in.
