The wolf Taylor Worth (Mark Harmon) is a handsome man that is the weatherman in television. He has a great salary, a BMW, a fantastic apartment and a countryside house and has no difficulties to win the girls over. One day, his best friend and psychologist Ned Broudy (Mark Blum), who is married with Claire Broudy (Andrea Martin) with a three year-old girl, proposes a bet to Taylor: his countryside house per Claire's Picasso. Taylor shall propose three women chosen by Ned and they must say yes to him. Ned chooses the sexy fan of American football Erin Cooper (Maria Holvöe), who is always surrounded by her friend Tarry Childs (Tony Longo) and other football players; his wealthy friend Eleanor Larimore (Lesley Ann Warren), who is unhappily married; and his demanding and intellectual friend, the classical pianist Veronica Briskow (Madeleine Stowe). Taylor accepts the bet, but when he wins, he calls it off since he is in love and proposed for real one of the selected women. What will happen when the other two women discover the truth?The delightful "Worth Winning" is one of the funniest romantic comedies from the 80's and maybe the best role of Mark Harmon's career. He plays a confident wolf that accepts any challenge to have a woman. But the plot point is when he really falls in love with one woman and is rejected by her. This comedy has a great cast with beautiful and sexy actresses and is a highly recommended entertainment. The sexy Maria Holvöe has vanished and has no biography in Internet. What might have happened to her? My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Como Agarrar Um Bonitão" ("How to Catch a Handsome Man")

Really more enjoyable than I expected. The Mark Harmon character is a cad, but hey, he even made Ted Bundy somewhat appealing. The girls are believable, the friends are good, and the plot ends predictably yet still manages to entertain. I'm glad I saw it. Really more enjoyable than I expected.

This is a refreshingly entertaining and funny film with Mark Harmon playing Taylor Worth, a confident, not cocky or obnoxious, local playboy TV Weatherman who is challenged to yet another bet by his best friend, Ned Broudy, played by Mark Blum. Taylor has apparently won every prior bet with Ned. In this bet, Taylor has to get three women to say they will marry him in three months. If Taylor wins he gets Ned's wife's prized Picasso picture, if he loses he gives up his prized cabin in the woods. Ned gets to choose the women Taylor will court. Madeleine Stowe, Lesley Ann Warren, and Maria Holvoe play the three vastly different women Taylor woos. Ned will not be beaten and will do anything to win. What ensues is hilarious. This movie has no underlying social commentary; it's simply entertainment. In my mind it succeeds as a good Saturday afternoon watch. Sit back with the popcorn and enjoy.

Here we have a good old boy who makes a simple little bet with the boys that he can sweet talk 3 broads into marrying him within 3 months. He treats them very nicely, wines and dines, asks no special favors....it's just a wager among men. Unfortunately, he is found out and all hell breaks loose. We then see what vindictive, ugly creatures women can be when things don't go exactly as they demand. Cool comedy with Harmon doing a super job playing the sophisticated, yet downtrodden, weatherman with a heart of gold. Loved the way he kept addressing the camera with his views on the way things were progressing.
