 | Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr, played by the hilarious Steve Martin (Dead Men Dont Wear Plaid, Planes Trains and Automobiles), falls in love with a brain in the jar from a mad scientist's, actor David Warner (Titanic, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2), labrotory, in which the interior of his apartment is his lab. So, Martin wants to put the mind of the brain in the jar, voiced by Sissy Spacek (Carrie, In The Bedroom), into his bitchy wife, played nicely by Kathleen Turner (Jewel Of The Nile, Serial Mom). There's a lot of funny stuff in here, including the identity of the Elevator Killer..frickin' Merv Griffin...hilarious. There's also a hairy Gorilla in the movie. Martin is sure fire brilliant in the lead, with his usual comedy sways and movement. For diehard Martin fans. |

| No laugh track. You will have no trouble knowing when the funny stuff is going on though. Kathleen Turner is a delicious, naughty, evil, vamp and Steve Martin is in love with her body, and another woman's brain. Turner wears many teddies & slinky lace gowns but there was no Victoria Secret in the 80's. Maybe they came from Fredrick's of Hollywood? One hilarious scene in the movie is when Turner puts Miss Brains in the oven to bake and Martin has to save her. Super funny! Buy this DVD, it's a bargain! If you like this movie, you'll also enjoy The Jerk. |

| THE MAN WITH TWO BRAINS is a pretty silly slapstick comedy but it's hilarious and has some of my favorite silly lines of all time. Kathleen Turner gets most of them, and I think it's her earnest delivery of them that makes them so funny:
*When Steve Martin comes home and Turner tells him she fired their gardener Ramon, Martin asks why, and she says he came up behind her and grabbed her breasts. "He was measuring for a new hood ornament."
*When Martin comes home and finds a man examining Turner's butt, he is furious and orders the man out of the house, who just happened to pay fifteen thousand dollars for the honor of adoring her fanny. In a rage, she says "You never wanted me to have a job of my own. A career of my own."
*When Martin and Turner engage in a fight, he kicks her in the groin area and she quips, "Ow..right in the balls."
There are more great lines, and Martin and Turner's delivery is sublime; I'm not sure they would have been as good if delivered by other actors. David Warner is pretty effective as the Austrian scientist and Sissy Spacek's voicing of Anne's brain is on target. Silly and outlandish, THE MAN WITH TWO BRAINS is an entertaining comedy that makes you laugh a lot of times! |

| Some people say that The Jerk is Steve Martin's funniest movie, but I think this one is even funnier. I've seen it dozens of times and it always cracks me up.
I've gotta go out now. I sure hope Merv Griffin isn't hiding in my elevator... |

| Wonderful Steve Martin comedy, consistently hilarious and offbeat. Not as steady as The Jerk, but it doesn't matter. Sissy Spacek is the voice of the brain in a jar he falls in love with. |
