On their honeymoon, Lenny’s new bride develops a severe sunburn and has to spend three days in their room — which is fine with him because he’s beginning to find her little idiosyncrasies maddening. In fact, Lenny is starting to feel his marriage may be a mistake. Then, when he hits the beach alone he meets a beautiful college student, Kelly Corcoran, and falls head over heels. He is sure this is the “real thing.” There’s just one problem…he’s a newlywed!

This movie is way harder to find than it should be. Thank you!!!
I heard that Cybill Shepherd actually wanted a sequel made to this movie. Might have been interesting. What does anyone suppose happens to Lila (Jeannie Berlin)?
