Perfume tycoon Hillary Kramer (Barbra Streisand) loses everything when her business manager embezzles and escapes with all the money. All she has left is a tax write-off contract with retired boxer Eddie 'Kid Natural' Scanlon (Ryan O'Neal). She needs him to start earning again, but he's not willing.
This tries to be a rom-com and that's most of its problem. The couple needs a meet-cute, but there isn't much cute in their meet. She is seeing dollar signs and he is being blackmailed. It's fine that they hate each other to start. This love-hate relationship really struggles with the love part. I don't buy it. The movie stumbles whenever it becomes a romance.
