Local TV reporter Rob Salinger (Dudley Moore) is married to Micki (Ann Reinking) who is trying to be a high power judge. He wants to have children but she wants to hold off. He is sent to do a piece on concert cellist Maude Guillory (Amy Irving). He has an affair with her and she gets pregnant. He is about to ask Micki for a divorce when she tells him that she's pregnant. He doesn't divorce Micki and marries Maude anyways. Only his boss Leo (Richard Mulligan) knows the truth as Rob tries to live his double lives.Director Blake Edwards sometimes try to make his cheating protagonists appealing. It's not appealing and I don't like Rob in this movie. He's trying to get points for marrying both women but it's his cheating that started the whole thing. It's not fun. There isn't much screwball humor until the hospital. By then, I only really like Amy Irving.

Reporter Rob Salinger (Dudley Moore) is married to ambitious Micki (Ann Reinking). He wants a baby--she doesn't. He meets sweet Maude (Amy Irving) and starts having an affair with her. Then he ends up getting them both pregnant! OK bigamy isn't funny--but this is just a movie that's not to be taken seriously. It's (for Blake Edwards) very sweet-natured and gentle. It does have his usual slapstick humor but also has some nice funny verbal jokes and is very romantic. Moore is great--he tones down his usual manic persona and gives a very affecting performance. Richard Mulligan also is great as his boss and pal Leo. Amy Irving is just incredibly beautiful and sweet. There's also a hysterical visit to a doctors office and the end when Moore goes full blast in a hospital. There's also a bit with nude male models with guns that's an eyeopener. This is far from perfect however. It takes its own sweet time getting started and doesn't even have an ending--it just sort of stops. Also Reinking is pretty bad in her role. She manages to overact AND underact at the same time--but she's known more for her dancing then acting. All in all a sweet, funny and romantic comedy. I give it an 8.

"Micki + Maude" is a wonderful comedy with a great comic performace by Dudley Moore as a man who has an incredible mess on his hands. Moore plays Rob Salinger, a TV reporter married to Micki (Ann Reinking), an assistant district attorney. Moore is desperate to have a baby but Micki doesn't want kids at the moment because she wants to work at her job so she can become a judge. One day Rob meets Maude (Amy Irving), a cellist he interviews for a report. When Micki goes out of town on business, Rob begins to have a fling with Maude. Then comes the shocking news. Maude announces that she's pregnant! Rob asks her to marry him and that he'll divorce Micki. When Micki gets back in town, Rob meets her for dinner at a restaurant where he plans to break the bad news to her. Then comes even more shocking news. Micki announces that she's pregnant! So what does Rob do now? Easy. He still marries Maude, stays married to Micki, and becomes a bigamist. "Micki + Maude" has lots of big laughs, especially the scenes in the doctors offices and hospital. This is one of director Blake Edwards' best films. The performance by Dudley Moore is a comic tour-de-force. He won a Golden Globe for his work here. Amy Irving and Ann Reinking are terrific too as the women in Moore's life, and there's a great supporting performance by Richard Mulligan (of TV's "Soap" and "Empty Nest") as Moore's boss and best friend who Moore comes to for advice. "Micki + Maude" is a very funny movie for fans of Dudley Moore and Blake Edwards. Only the silly ending keeps this movie from being a "10".***1/2 (out of four)

Likable Blake Edwards comedy with Moore who plays a frustrated news reporter with two wives, who are both pregnant at the same time. Yikes! This farce is pleasant and Moore carries it beautifully with his usual timing and flair. One of his best!
