Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Mike Myers's first feature role without his Wayne's World wig is a performance at odds with the best interests of the movie. Myers plays a single guy who always manages to find something seriously wrong with each of his girlfriends. His new love (Nancy Travis), a butcher, may be the perfect woman, except for one thing: she might be a 'black-widow' killer who prefers dispatching husbands with a sharp instrument. Robbie Fox's original script has a fine shape and strong, black-comedy material within it. But Myers creates unnecessary dissonance by playing a variety of characters (including an irascible Scotsman like the one he often played on Saturday Night Live) and accenting his skills as an improvisational comic (such as impersonating the soothing cadences of a massage therapist). It's not that Myers isn't funny doing all that, but it has nothing to do with the movie. Directed by Thomas Schlamme (Miss Firecracker). --Tom Keogh

- So I Married an Axe Murderer
This movie came out around the same time as the Wayne's World so it slipped under the radar screen. If you like Mike Myers' movies you will like this one. It has a good supporting cast and a not bad story line. It has made the rounds on premium cable channels and I'm glad to say is now part of my library.

- I care for "Apple Jacks" a great deal
So I Married an Axe Murderer is an early Mike Myers attempt at comedy that is somewhat of an unsuccessful experiment, but it still has lots of funny parts and is entertaining as long as you don't demand too much of it. Myers plays Charlie Mackenzie, a San Francisco poet, and he also plays his own father, Stuart Mackenzie, an abrasive Scotsman. The Scotsman character is one that he cooked up for Saturday Night Live, but while it didn't quite work out for SIMAAM (So I Married an Axe Murderer) it led to him doing the voice for the ogre Shrek, which is obviously based on his Scottish voice, and we all know how that worked out.

Strange but funny in a strange way, but also sort of funny in a ha ha ha way, is when Stuart Mackenzie sings pop hits from Scottish singers. The Bay City Rollers and Rod Stewart get the Stuart Mackenzie treatment, with the Do You Think I'm Sexy? lead guitar break done on bag pipe. ... Read More

- "I Think I'm Dating Mrs. X"
Charlie Mackenzie (Mike Myers) has a bit of a commitment problem. It doesn't matter how perfect his girlfriend is, he finds some reason to end the relationship.

Then, into his life, walks Harriet Michaels (Nancy Travis). With just one smile, she melts Charlie's heart. It's love at first site, and Charlie is ready to leave his bachelor days behind him.

There's just one little problem. Reports are circulating the country about a Mrs. X who kills her husbands on their wedding night. And Charlie thinks that Harriet may be Mrs. X. Is he just coming up with another excuse not to commit? Or is he signing his life away by asking Harriet to marry him?

I'm not normally a fan of Mike Myers' comedy, and this movie reminded me why. The reliance on sexual jokes and situations for comedy never appeals to me. Mike also plays Charlie's dad Stuart, and I just found that character annoying. ... Read More
