Headache-inducing "comedy" that just isn't for me. I'm a fan of the screwball comedies of yesteryear this is attempting to emulate, but I don't remember any of them being so off-putting. Gene Wilder tries way too hard, screaming his head off for most of the film. If it doesn't give you a headache, you're made of sterner stuff than me. As for Gilda Radner - I know she died young and that's tragic. That being said, I've never found her all that funny. Not her SNL work, not her stand-up, not her movies. At most I found her mildly amusing in The Woman In Red. Everything I've read about her is that she was well-liked and respected by everyone, and obviously many people do find her funny, so I'm not just dumping on her here. I just don't think she's funny and I don't think Wilder is funny in this movie either.
