I guess I'm showing my age by admitting I remember Steve Martin when he was funny. I also remember Jim Carrey being a comedian, Ozzy a singer and the Kardashians being whorish. Oh wait, that last one still applies.

"I can't f*** a gorilla!" Hilarious.

A fairly decent Steve Martin comedy from the 1980s, which has its moments at times and is probably worth the $5.99 your local movie merchant wants for the DVD.

This gets by with so much charm. Martin has the best line delivery with "I couldn't fuck a gorilla".

For me this is Martin's comedy pretty much at its peak. So well timed, writen and performed, and really could watch this over and over. Love this movie.

The ease with which Steve Martin turns unparalleled silliness into surreal genius is a wonder to behold. It's a relentless, ridiculous movie that had me giggling throughout. What really makes this film work is the performances - Martin and Kathleen Turner just throw themselves into these roles, completely nailing that nonsensical, over-serious tone that the film lovingly mocks.

It seems gentle and quiet compared to the unrelenting noise of current American comedy, but there are good gags in every scene and the whole thing is just fun and really nicely done.

LOL funny. It starts weak but then becomes the better of the Steve Martin films I've seen (I didn't like The Jerk). Kathleen Turner is very attractive. Almost every scene was packed with humor. Fav scene: "I can't fuck a gorilla."
