\"So<\/p>\n

Welcome to\u00a0The Quarantine Stream<\/strong><\/a>, a new series<\/a> where the \/Film team shares what they\u2019ve been watching while social<\/a> distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.)<\/em><\/p>\n

The Movie<\/strong>: So I Married an Axe Murderer
<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Where You Can Stream It<\/strong>: Amazon Prime
\nThe Pitch<\/strong>: When it comes to love, Charlie Mackenzie has had his share of bad luck: Sherrie was a klepto \u2013 Charlie still can\u2019t find his cat. Jill was unemployed, but Charlie knew she really worked for the Mafia. Pam smelled like soup-beef vegetable soup. Good thing for Charlie he discovered the truth before things went too far-before he stumbled into marriage<\/em>. But when Charlie meets Harriet Michaels, everything changes. Harriet\u2019s not like the others. She\u2019s smart, sexy, and crazy about Charlie. This time Charlie is determined to overcome the fears that sabotaged his past relationships. The only problem is there might be something else to fear, because sweet Harriet might be an axe murderer.<\/p>\n

Why It\u2019s Essential Viewing<\/strong>: When you think of Mike Myers, the first thing that comes to mind is probably either Shrek or some of the zany characters often hidden under tons of make-up. Wayne\u2019s World<\/em> may be up there too, though their relevance has started to wane even as they app<\/a>ear all over TV in Uber Eats commercials. But these days, most people think of the Saturday Night Live<\/em> veteran as the shagadelic spy and his nemesis Dr. Evil in the Austin Powers<\/em> franchise or even his madcap take on The Cat in the Hat<\/em> (which is a hilarious performance in an abysmal movie, but we\u2019ll save that for another day). However, the movie that deserves far more recognition for the comedy genius of Mike Myers is So I Married an Axe Murderer<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because Mike Myers is better known for playing characters who are nothing like him in real life, So I Married an Axe Murderer<\/em> stands out among the pack because it\u2019s the closes we\u2019ve come to seeing him play a character that\u2019s a lot like the comedian himself. Myers brings charm, sincerity, and laughs to this story, which puts a bit of a dark twist on the romantic comedy formula. But more importantly, he brought a completely different perspective to the original script by Robbie Fox and managed to make a movie that kept the cleverness of that original draft but gave the story his own unique flair.<\/p>\n

From the beat poetry of Bohemian culture and 1990s coffee shops to the obnoxiously Scottish father of Mike Myers\u2019 character Charlie (also played by Myers, using a voice that would later be more easily identified as Fat Bastard in the Austin Powers<\/em> franchise), Myers overhauled the original script and came up with something that was not only still sharp, but it was purely Mike Myers. And it\u2019s not just Myers that stands out with big laughs. Anthony LaPaglia shines as Charlie\u2019s best friend, a cop who is constantly dealing with his boss (Alan Arkin in an uncredited but prominent supporting role) trying to act like a tough captain from crime TV shows. And of course Nancy Travis does a fantastic job of being the alluring love interest who harbors a deadly secret. But like many Mike Myers movies, you\u2019ll also love the bit parts played by the likes of comedy heavy-hitters like Charles Grodin, Phil Hartman, Michael Richards, and Steven Wright.<\/p>\n

So I Married an Axe Murderer<\/em> wasn\u2019t a huge hit when it was released back in 1993, mostly because it didn\u2019t deliver the kind of comedy that audiences had come to love Mike Myers for on Saturday Night Live<\/em>. But nearly 30 years later, it stands as one of the best things Mike Myers has done, and if you\u2019ve never given it a chance, now\u2019s the time.
