what a good film, an early comedy from steve martin which is really funny. stupid stunts and lines that make it hillarious, like the jerk, maybe better in my mind.
its about a guy who gets dumped and finds it hard getting back with the world so is labelled as a lonely guy, lots of problems a-rise but he finally is'nt lonely for a while.....
its has a funny cast, the two main actors are brilliant. worth seeing by anyone.
Next to "Pennies From Heaven", my favorite Steve Martin flick. One of those comedies that seems to have slipped under the radar, but it's really damn funny, full of the same absurd humor of "The Jerk", "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid", and "The Man with Two Brains". Charles Grodin is absolutely hilarious as Martin's even lonelier best friend Larry. The scene where he complains about Michael Landon's hair is priceless. One of those rare movie gems that are a delight to discover.
It's hilarious. Of course, it has its negative side - some of the jokes weren't as successful as the expected - but in the end it's worth it. The story itself is pretty unique and the perfomances of both main and secondary characters are impecable. Really hilarious. But it seems to me that the essence of the film was lost somewhere for some reason. It starts with a REALLY GREAT and UNIQUE story about lonely guys living in a big city and when you realize, you're just watching another silly and pointless movie about love. Too bad. I guess love sells, right?
Mildly amusing sitcom in which Steve Martin discovers that being a pathetic loser has it's upside. The script was by Neil Simon, which explains it's "Woody Allen lite" feeling. Inoffensive, but rarely hilarious.
