What happens

The Marrying Man (known as Too Hot to Handle in the United Kingdom, Australia, and the Philippines) is a 1991 American romantic comedy film, directed by Jerry Rees, written by Neil Simon, and starring Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger. Ahead of the release of The Marrying Man, Premiere magazine published articles detailing a tumultuous production, with actors Baldwin and Basinger portrayed as unprofessional. Production challenges led to a ballooned budget of $26 million. The film opened to poor reviews and did not break out at the box office, with Basinger's performance earning her a nomination for the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress, where she lost to Sean Young for A Kiss Before Dying at the 12th Golden Raspberry Awards. It held a 9% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics found the film lacking in chemistry and believability, and shortly after its release Baldwin called it "the biggest mistake" of his career.
