John Kent (Randolph Scott), a former star football player at Harvard, goes to Paris with his friend Huck Haines (Fred Astaire) and the latter's dance band, the Wabash Indianians. Alexander Voyda (Luis Alberni) has booked the band, but refuses to let them play when he finds the musicians are not the Indians he expected, but merely from Indiana (Huck Haines and his Indianians Band).
John turns to the only person he knows in Paris for help, his Aunt Minnie (Helen Westley), who owns the fashionable "Roberta" gown shop. While there, he meets her chief assistant (and secretly the head designer), Stephanie (Irene Dunne). John is quickly smitten with her.
Meanwhile, Huck unexpectedly stumbles upon someone he knows very well. "Countess Scharwenka", a temperamental customer at Roberta's, turns out to be his hometown sweetheart Lizzie Gatz (Ginger Rogers). She gets Huck's band an engagement at the nightclub where she is a featured entertainer.
Two things trouble John. One is Ladislaw (Victor Varconi), the handsome Russian deposed prince and doorman who seems too interested in Stephanie. The other is the memory of Sophie (Claire Dodd), the snobbish, conceited girlfriend he left behind after a quarrel over his lack of sophistication and polish.
When Aunt Minnie dies unexpectedly without leaving a will, John inherits the shop. Knowing nothing about women's fashion and that his aunt intended for Stephanie to inherit the business, he persuades Stephanie to remain as his partner. Correspondents flock to hear what a football player has to say about feminine fashions. Huck gives the answers, making a lot of weird statements about the innovations John is planning to introduce.
Sophie arrives in Paris, attracted by John's good fortune. She enters the shop, looking for a dress, but is dissatisfied with everything Stephanie shows her. Huck persuades her to choose a gown that John had ordered discarded as too vulgar. When John sees her in it, they quarrel for the final time.
John reproaches Stephanie for selling Sophie the gown. Terribly hurt, Stephanie quits the shop. With Roberta's putting on a fashion show in a week, Huck takes over the design work, with predictably bad results. When Stephanie sees his awful creations, she is persuaded to return to save Roberta's reputation.
The show is a triumph, helped by the entertaining of Huck, Countess Scharwenka, and the band. (A pre-stardom Lucille Ball, with platinum blond hair, appears uncredited in her first RKO film[4] as a model wearing an elaborate feather cape, after the vocal by Dunne, in the fashion show.[5]) The closing sensation is a gown modeled by Stephanie herself. At the show, John overhears that she and Ladislaw are leaving Paris and mistakenly assumes that they have married. Later, he congratulates her for becoming a princess. When she informs him that Ladislaw is merely her cousin and that the title has been hers since birth, the lovers are reunited. Huck and Lizzie, who decide to get married, do a final tap dance sequel.
他不止是一位有债必换的celebrity，还是一名不忘初心的actor，更是一个担当尽责的husband&father，诚如亲王亲口所说，一部由角色推动的电影，建立在凯奇生涯的基础之上，人生第二春听起来就是个很美妙的词，希望学院年底能有所表示，哪怕为了鼓励也好。
但不管怎么说这无疑是凯奇近十年来最好的电影了，希望还完债的凯奇能迎来事业第二春。
没预告片搞笑，可能不是凯奇粉丝，细节get不到。抛开设定，就是部三流特工搞笑片。当然当作stoner comedy看也是个新思路。
能到自讽出一部电影的程度也不知道是演员的幸运还是悲哀呢?
如果说《天才不能承受之重》是尼古拉斯·凯奇的“翻身”制作，可能有点名过其实了。通体来看，这是一部以尼古拉斯·凯奇个人为卖点——或者说以演员本人自黑为卖点——的喜剧片。又是一部预告片比正片更精彩的片子，因为开场之后不用太久我们就会发现，《天才不能承受之重》除了填充着尼古拉斯·凯奇本人过去电影作品——当然涵盖了"好片“和”烂片“——之外，无外乎又是一部我们耳熟能详的某一类型的喜剧电影。我个人是一直比较喜欢尼古拉斯·凯奇并且一直相信他是拥有演技的，但是这部《天才不能承受之重》显然不是那部让他“翻身”的电影。
【B-】前两幕的戏剧点安排和故事构架还是挺有意思的，可能有点借鉴《七个神经病》，但第三幕突然转变成了很普通的喜剧动作类型片套路的展开就有点失望了。第三幕平庸的故事实在是支撑不起这个想要做成带有meta意味的结局。另外前两幕对角色的情感铺垫明明挺棒的，怎么到了第三幕突然也和故事一样变得那么平庸了…
不管是天才蠢材，不管在过去还是未来，我是尼古拉斯·凯奇，承让了。6
帕丁顿熊2或成最大赢家👍🏼
老子还能东山再起
7.3分。虽然自己不是凯奇的忠实粉丝，也不是90年代动作电影分忠实粉丝，但是抛去粉丝滤镜来看，仍然是一部非常不错的电影。凯奇的自嘲首先就决定了这部电影无可替代，然后就是和佩德罗·帕斯卡的化学反应，让我想起了我小时候也喜欢一个人模仿一些电影里的场景，今天也是。可惜我没能找到另一个陪我一起演戏的人，尽管我曾经认为我找到了……
#电影晶选 三星半。cage大叔粉丝向电影，很多致敬和回忆杀，自己演自己也算是比较有趣的噱头，海报与隔壁'妈的多重宇宙'如出一辙，透露着一本正经胡闹的气息，本质都是在拯救中年危机。尽管没有预期那么好，但至少算是凯奇大叔近10年还能看的电影了，他的确从未离开，希望还完债了可以选点优质资源开启事业第二春。
其实想翻盘有点夸张了，人家也没说要翻盘啥的。
以前美式英雄片风靡国内的时候凯奇是男性沙文主义的代表人物 （身边认识很多中年男的喜欢）现在都知道解构了 只能说时代确实有进步那么一点点 老凯奇演老凯奇自己 老凯奇热吻小凯奇 这已经够好笑了 演凯奇女儿的居然是Lily Sheen 这就更好笑了 怎么说呢 男的 闭上你的嘴 做个谐星 永远是最好的选择👌
爸的电影宇宙，老旧港式喜剧路子。★★☆/5.9
凯奇自烂片以来最有意思的一部作品，可谓是翻身之作，有个好剧本还是比较重要
纯正的地主家傻儿子追星成功帮偶像重回事业巅峰！好笑的地方几乎都在看了好多遍的预告里，车戏还是好看的！算是不可以尬的搞笑片了吧，可是我期望太高了这疲软的节奏难免有点让我失望。
对了，曼达洛人，穿上你的盔甲，1V1000
看到凯奇各种自我致敬的片段还是能会心一笑的。
作为一部喜剧电影，段子梗完全不好笑就是最大问题。
因为从小看电影频道，一直觉得尼古拉斯凯奇是比较“正派的”演员。。。
