Summary: An excellent romantic comedy!
Review: One of the things I love about this movie is the character development. The writers worked hard to include multiple perspectives on the main characters, that, in turn, gives the viewer a deeper sense of enjoyment.The cinematography is excellent, capturing the scenic nature shots as well as the soft, smooth ambience in the "A date with a hunter" and "Locked out" scenes. I truly love this film, it's most definitely worth the mere $20 cost of a DVD purchase.

Summary: The Night is Extemporaneous
Review: Possibly one of Steve Martin's finest films, I have always enjoyed this wonderful modern version of Cyrano de Bergerac. A fine cast turn in some wonderful performances. There are so many sequences in the film which I could talk about such as the opening "swordfight", the balcony scene and the most famous - the 20 things about CDB'S nose (actually 25 but who cares?). At the end of it all its a wonderful film that you can sit back and enjoy. If you need something to lighten the mood then this is one of those constantly funny films. The picture quality of this DVD is excellent. The sound is good. The only downside would be the lack of features. My advice would be to buy it anyway.

Summary: My favorite movie of all time
Review: Roxanne is so captivating that I have watched it dozens of times and if I could take one movie to a desert island, it would be this one. Steve Martin's deliciously romantic screenplay and his masterful portrayal of Fire Chief C.D. Bales, combined with breathtaking British Columbian scenery and perfect casting make this movie an experience everyone should have. C.D.'s soliloquoy under Rozanne's window is easily the sexiest, most romantic scene I've ever seen in a movie, and he set the standard for my own definition of the perfect lover. There are many "morals" about love and friendship that inform this story, but the "medicine" goes down with sparkling class and flawless humor. I fell head over heels in love with C.D. Bales, big nose, big heart and all.

Summary: Don't miss this video
Review: Steve Martin is absolutely wonderful in this movie. I could watch this movie over and over again. This movie follows how Steve Martins character falls in love with Roxanne. Even though he looks really different he shows that its not whats on the outside that counts but where your heart is on the inside. I would recommend this film to anyone who wants to feel good after watching a great movie.

Summary: Martin shines as modern-day "Cyrano de Bergerac"
Review: Steve Martin's best comedy role yet. This breezy, updated version of Edmond Rostand's "Cyrano de Bergerac" shows Martin as a small-town fire chief endowed with an unusually large nose. Gifted with the ability to write beautiful love letters, Martin lends his talent to the shy and awkward Rick Rossovich, who is in love with the Daryl Hannah character (Roxanne). While helping out his buddy, Martin also falls in love with Roxanne, setting off the famous love triangle. The low key antics and the emphasis on clever dialogue give the film an endearing quality that is difficult to resist. The supporting cast adds some slap stick humor to the plot line. Look for Shelley Duval and Fred Willard in small, but essential roles.

Summary: A Funnier and Happier Cyrano de Bergerac
Review: This 1987 film is another brilliant collaboration between Carl Reiner and Stever Martin: bringing us a more jovial interpretation of Edmond Rostand's famous play, 'Cyrano de Bergerac.'
The theme and plot is pretty much the same as the original except with a comic twist instead of a tragic one. Steve Martin is C.D. Barnes, the captain of a voluntary fire station at a ski resort. As with the original Cyrano, C.D. is a sensual and vocally articulate man who feels that his monstrous nose is always in the way of love. He soon falls in love with the beautiful Roxanne (Daryl Hannah), an astronomer who just arrived to the town to chart the stars, but can't get himself to act. Finding out that Roxanne has the hots for a clueless hunk in his fire station (Rick Rossovich), C.D. acts as the brains and mouthpiece while the hunk acts as the sexy model. Things get hot but somethings just don't add up in Roxanne's mind. The truth is soon unfolded and resolves itself in a happy ending for everyone.
Another great work by Reiner and Martin whose comedies always touch the audience with revealing insight and wit. A fun movie for all ages and genders.

Summary: One of my favourite favourite films
Review: This film always makes me laugh, cheers me up, instills a bit of hope that there can be happy endings. A funny scene from the film: C.D: "One more step and I'm leaving." Roxanne: "What did you say?" C.D: "I said 'One more step and I'm leaving'" Roxanne: "Oh." C.D: "What did you think I said?" Roxanne: "I thought you said 'Earn more sessions by sleeving." C.D: "Well what the hell does that mean?" Roxanne: "I don't know, that's why I asked." (you've got to be there, honest) If you're looking for a funny, feel-good movie, this is a film for you.......

Summary: Steve Martin is hilarious!
Review: This is a classic Steve Martin movie. He is sooo funny, the best Steve Martin ever! My favorite scene is when C.D. (Steve) says 20 insults about his nose. I highly recommend this movie because the plot is sweet and funny, and the characters are great!

Summary: Excellent adaptation
Review: This is a fine adaptation of Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac. I love the modern spin on the movie, because it is so perfect for our time. The scene where C.D. Bates (Martin) talks for Rossovich's character under Roxanne's window is my favorite. It's such a great movie, and it's on TBS every six months or so. See it! I recommend it.

Summary: Steve Martin's best performance yet!
Review: This is an absolutely great film. In it, Steve Martin plays C.D. (Charlie), a fire chief who falls in love with a beautiful astronomer named Roxanne, played by Daryl Hannah. Unfortunetly, C.D. soon finds out that Roxanne is in love with Chris, the local moron. When Chris finds out about Roxanne liking him, he immedietly asks C.D. for help. C.D. starts writing letters for Chris to Roxanne, and they soon begin to date. But, C.D. cannot hide his feelings for Roxanne that long. How Steve Martin was not even nominated for Best Actor blows my mind! This is by far the best performance of Steve Martin's career and still remains one of his best films. A great watch!
