Editorial Reviews

In this charming romantic comedy, a TV weatherman (Mark Harmon) whose life is an endless succession of whirlwind affairs, takes his male friends up on a bet. He sets out to prove he can get simultaneously engaged to three beautiful women (Madeleine Stowe, Maria Holvoe, Lesley Ann Warren), all within three months. But the joke backfires when he realizes he has actually fallen in love with one of his "fiancées" - and she suddenly wants nothing to do with him.

5.0 out of 5 stars This One Will Surprise You, June 10, 2005
By 
This review is from: Worth Winning (DVD)
I was so happy to see this came out on DVD, finally. This is a longtime favorite movie of mine. I love to share it with friends who have never seen it; they invariably enjoy it as much if not more than me. Believe it or not, it's a great "date movie" to cuddle up with....there are enough plot twists to make the story, at one time or another, enjoyable for just about everyone, and yet nobody will be turned off by them. This movie is great fun....enjoy!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth Getting!, October 28, 2000
By 
Sheldon Coronel (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Worth Winning [VHS] (VHS Tape)
One of my favorite movies. The plot is simple and predictable. The lines are sometimes cheesy but overall, the movie is very entertaining. Love the soundtrack too.

Synopsis: "Taylor Worth (Mark Harmon) is a local weatherman in Philadelphia who loves two things: gambling and women. Ned (Mark Blum), his psychiatrist friend, believes that Taylor's behavior is an excuse from establishing permanent relationships. To prove his theory to be correct, he made a bet with Taylor. The bet: Taylor is to be engage to three women in two months. The stakes: A fishing cabin for a Picasso. The catch: Ned will pick the three women and the engagement has to be videotaped."

"What happens next is wild rollercoaster ride as Taylor plots, schemes, strategizes and executes plan after plan to beat his friend."

What strikes me about the story is how Mark Harmon played his character. He used more finesse rather than the egotistical "God's gift to women" attitude. He is no Cassanova but somehow irresistible. I couldn't help but cheering for him even though the bet was morally wrong. The supporting cast is excellent.

If you like a light-heart sexual comedy movie, then this is for you.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not good, not bad, May 7, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Worth Winning (DVD)
If you like early Mark Harmon, then it is worth the time. Otherwise, it is a made for TV style situation comedy. There are some embarrassing moments and a heart-warming ending.
