Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

totallysaved This movie came out the year I graduated High School. I saw the movie that year and did not find too much humor within. I remember my enjoyment in seeing Andre the Giant (loved him in Princess and the Bride) but that was about the height of my excitement. Now thirty years later, I watched the movie again because basically I forgot the plot. It was not too far into the movie when I remembered; I am not sure how a guy who cheats on his pregnant wife by getting another woman pregnant, marrying that woman, and then trying to hide it is funny but, then again when did Hollywood obtain a diploma in morality? As much as I loved Dudley Moore in ARTHUR, is as much as a disliked his character and the plot of Micki and Maude. The ending did not provide any form of suspension of disbelief; that is about all I can say without providing a spoiler. This is not a spoiler since this same plot design is in IMDb.

preppy-3 Reporter Rob Salinger (Dudley Moore) is married to ambitious Micki (Ann Reinking). He wants a baby--she doesn't. He meets sweet Maude (Amy Irving) and starts having an affair with her. Then he ends up getting them both pregnant! OK bigamy isn't funny--but this is just a movie that's not to be taken seriously. It's (for Blake Edwards) very sweet-natured and gentle. It does have his usual slapstick humor but also has some nice funny verbal jokes and is very romantic. Moore is great--he tones down his usual manic persona and gives a very affecting performance. Richard Mulligan also is great as his boss and pal Leo. Amy Irving is just incredibly beautiful and sweet. There's also a hysterical visit to a doctors office and the end when Moore goes full blast in a hospital. There's also a bit with nude male models with guns that's an eyeopener. This is far from perfect however. It takes its own sweet time getting started and doesn't even have an ending--it just sort of stops. Also Reinking is pretty bad in her role. She manages to overact AND underact at the same time--but she's known more for her dancing then acting. All in all a sweet, funny and romantic comedy. I give it an 8.

theowinthrop Dudley Moore is a television news reporter married to lawyer Anne Reinking (Micki). They are in love - deeply in love - but she is committed to her legal career. This means working overtime on her cases and briefs. So Moore is unhappy about seeing so little of her. He needs to be in a closer relationship with his wife.His producer/friend Richard Mulligan sends him on an assignment to cover a female string ensemble whose cellist is Amy Irving (Maude). In demonstrating how "through the magic of creative cutting" he will be able to appear on camera asking her questions that she answered already, Dudley and Amy start chatting. And he takes her to dinner. And soon they are in love - deeply in love.Well Dudley decides to tell Anne it's all over, but discovers her awaiting him with good news: she is pregnant! Well he can't leave a pregnant wife...so he returns to Amy to tell her it is all over. But she is awaiting him. She's pregnant too! He can't desert her now either. In fact, he has to marry her.As mentioned in another of the various comments here, the opening does drag a little, but MICKI & MAUDE is one of those films that starts slow, and then goes wild. Moore (with some assistance from pal Mulligan) has to marry Amy, and keep her and Anne happy in their separate pregnancies without them knowing of each other. The marriage is difficult enough (he runs into Anne's parents outside of the church that Amy and he are about to be wed in). The difficulties of working enough to support two families (helped out by the fact that both wives are working too) is exhausting - though Mulligan tries to help. Finally both wives are using two obstetricians (George Gaynes and Wallace Shawn) who share the same offices. They and their two patients are kept in the dark, but their nurse (Lu Leonard) is fully aware of what is going on and disgusted by it.A typical combination of slapstick (which Moore handles well) and one liners that Edwards is famous in his movies for, MICKI & MAUDE works very nicely as a comedy. If not the best comedy in Dudley Moore's career, it comes close (especially in the conclusion to the two pregnancies at the hospital - where as a special treat Moore stumbles onto a third, unexpected secret). In the end, facing the wreckage of two marriages or whatever, the three leads have to invent some type of arrangement that will satisfy everyone...or will it?

Robin A must see for ANY Dudley Moore fan!! This movie is full of laughs and touching moments..this movie also stars the late great Richard Mulligan of SOAP and Empty Nest Fame!!..If you like the comedy of Arthur, Money Pit, or Private Benjamin you'll like this one...A 10 all the way!!!!!
