So I Married An Axe Murderer

Starring: Mike Myers, Nancy Travis, Anthony LaPaglia, et al.

Product Description

Mike Myers stars as Charlie MacKenzie, a San Francisco poet who meets the girl of his dreams, Harriet Michaels (Nancy Travis), when he stops to pick up some haggis for his parents at Meats of the World, a butcher shop where Harriet works. Although he's been neurotically commitment-phobic in the past (dumping one girlfriend because she "smelled like soup"), Charlie thinks that Harriet could be the one. That is, until his mother, May (Brenda Fricker), and cop/best friend Tony (Anthony LaPaglia) begin to suspect that Harriet could be an axe-wielding serial killer who has butchered several husbands. Harriet's wacky sister Rose (Amanda Plummer) and her connection to several of the slayings makes Charlie nervous, but he nevertheless pops the question, leading to an eventual honeymoon where all is revealed.

Customer Reviews

A slice of life.

Charlie Mackenzie (Mike Myers), a self-made poet, has successfully avoided tying the knot with several women by finding out their flaws in the “nick” of time. Looks like his luck may be running out. He falls in love with the local butcher, Harriet Michaels (Nancy Travis), who may be more of a cut-up than she appears. Will Charlie Axe-cept her at face value, or will his suspicious nature once again interfere with marital bliss? It appears that adding to Charlie’s paranoia is an exposé paper describing a person who marries and “separates” her husband. Then changes names and repeats the ritual. If he takes the plunge, will his friend (Anthony LaPaglia) find out that Charlie is not paranoid and come to his rescue (in time)?
