Selected and presented by our 2025 Lou DiCrescenzo Award for the Cinematic Arts recipient, Ira Deutchman.
In this rarely screened anti-romantic comedy from trailblazing filmmaker Elaine May, a self-absorbed newlywed falls in love with the woman of his dreams while on his honeymoon; the only problem is she is not his new wife! Featuring a screenplay by Neil Simon and noteworthy performances by Charles Grodin and Cybill Shepherd. THE HEARTBREAK KID influenced a new generation of comedy films with its focus on dialogue-heavy, character-centric humor.
Presented on a rare print from the British Film Institute.
