Just after a bad breakup, Charlie MacKenzie falls for lovely butcher Harriet Michaels and introduces her to his parents. But, as voracious consumers of sensational tabloids, his parents soon come to suspect that Harriet is actually a notorious serial killer -- "Mrs. X" -- wanted in connection with a string of bizarre honeymoon killings. Thinking his parents foolish, Charlie proposes to Harriet. But while on his honeymoon with her, he begins to fear they were right.
There are some decent moments. Alan Arkin trying to act as a hard ass police chief, the Mike Myers beat poetry, and the paranoid state Mike gets in should make for a better movie than it is, but it all comes together to be fairly unmemorable in the end. 2-2.5/5
