Steve Martin had a very successful and long running collaboration with director Carl Reiner, The Jerk, All of Me, Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid and The Man with Two Brains. Martin is Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr, the world’s greatest brain surgeon, accidentally hits Turner’s Dolores Benedict with his car. He saves her with his special life-saving technique. She marries him. Hijinks ensue. Dolores, you see, is a femme fatale. They travel to Vienna where he meets a brain. It’s a silly, silly comedy. There’s murder, mayhem and a lot of silliness.

Kathleen Turner is having a lot of fun as Dolores, as good here as she is with her role in Body Heat. Steve Martin chews the scenery with great joy. I love this type of Steve Martin.

Silly Funny.
