The Honeymoon Was Killer
So I Married an Axe Murderer (1994) is an American film starring Mike Myers and Nancy Travis. 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 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. Myers hit upon the Peter Sellers-inspired formula of playing various supporting characters with this film, portraying Charlie’s amusingly paranoid father Stuart.
