Summary: Steve Martin's Dark Humor
Review: A satirical film on social alienation and how those who are socially challenged compensate for their deficiencies. This film is probably Steve Martin's darkest comedy not too unlike the later released dark humor film 'The Cable Guy' starring Jim Carey and Mathew Broderick.
In this film, Steve Martin plays a down-and-out professional who can't seem to even start a conversation with a girl much less have a date with one. Instead, he passes his time having imaginary parties while striking up conversations with cardboard cut-out images of people. His monotonous life is accompanied with the equally pathetic life of Charles Grodin's character.
Again, this is probably the darkest humor Steve Martin ever presented on film but it's still a great comedy. If you didn't like the theme or subject of 'The Cable Guy', then you probably won't enjoy this film either.

Summary: Shocked and disappointed
Review: I consider myself a Steve Martin fan. I love the movies L.A. Story and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. I have read Steve Martin's books and would highly recommend them. However, with the exception of "The Jerk", this movie collection is terrible. I enjoy watching The Jerk and think of it as a classic. As for the other two movies, I had to struggle to sit through them and I will not be watching them again.

Summary: Steve Martin and Charles Grodin rule in this!
Review: I know a lot of people who have never seen this movie. I always tell them they have to see it. It's absolutely hilarious.
One of my favorite scenes is when Warren (Charles Grodin) practices saying "Hello" before answering his phone. Very funny stuff!
Grodin is so great in this movie. It's definitely one of my favorite performances by him.

Summary: Funny movie for lonely people
Review: If you are lonely, check out this film. You'll find it absolutely hilarious. Even though loneliness isn't funny, Steve Martin shows that things could be worse. Some of my favorite scenes are when Martin gets a Bassett hound and the only way he he can get it to stop barking is to bark just like the dog. Another funny scene is when Martin finds out that there is a "lonely guys store". Rent this movie for a laugh. And to lonely people who watch this, you'll find out that things could be a lot worse.

Summary: The Lonely Guy a great rare unseen comedy with Steve Martin
Review: Steve Martin , the great comedian who has starred
in a dozen or so great comedies, stars as Larry Hubbard,
an aspiring writer, who after finding his girl in bed
with another guy becomes "The Lonely Guy". Hubbard, then goes out on his own in New York City, and
find the right place for himself to live in , along
with trying to find the right girl for him. However,
comic mishaps prevent Larry from doing this, all the while
though, Larry from his experiences as a lonely guy in
New York, will use this for a best seller he is writing
revolving around lonely guys. "The Lonely Guy" is both a laughfest, and a charming,
sentimental movie about love. The laughs come in when we see Larry trying to find
an apartment in New York. He first sees a high class apartment, but then narrates
that looks can be deceiving as, these kind
of apartment have a high crime rate. Then seconds
a guy gets shot and tells Larry: "Don't move
in bad neighboorhood". LOL Then when Larry starts looking for an apartment, he
decides he wants one with a view of the river.
However, when he looks out of the window of one
of the apartments, he sees that windows is the river!!!
As he sees goldfish, and other fish, swim across
the window!!! LOL When Larry finally gets settled he meets a man
named Warren Evans (Charles Grodin) a lonely
guy who is contemplating suicide. Larry prevents
Warren from doing this and the 2 become good
friends. Seeing his skill in dealing with lonely guys, Larry
plans his book based on the subject. However, he
himself feels depressed while writing it, since
he doesn't have a woman. Larry then goes on a mission (with both comical
and good results) to find the right woman. He meets Iris (Judith Ivey) a great woman, but
with a troubled past. Will Larry , the lonely guy, find the right woman? See it to find out. There are great funny cameos by Dr. Joyce Brothers, and Merv Griffin, who take a great interest in the writer/ lonely guy. Other comical scenes involved Larry trying to find
the right dog, to past those lonely nights. The movie is hard to find, and out of print, but
it's worth searching for.
Overall it's a great comedy, Martin and Grodin,
give exceptional performances, again showing their
comedic talents.

Summary: Wonderful. Don't overlook this one Steve Martin fans!!!
Review: The bittersweet lives of the single set are humorously examined in this charming film. It contains some classic moments perfectly suited to Martins talents such as a party filled with famous guests (that happen to be cardboard cutouts), hanging out to meet potential girlfriends at bloodbanks, and sneeze induced orgasms.

Summary: Most box sets are like a box of chocolates (not here)!
Review: There is usually one that is ether exceptional or the one that won't sell. Well you are in luck as none of these movies are the exceptional type. Steve Martin has done some outstanding work. None of which is in this set. There are moments that are worth watching. However the moments are not worth wading through the rest of these films. My guess is that you may appreciate this set if you like stand-alone comics. They are more like long skits than movies.
This set includes "The Jerk", " The Lonely Guy", and " Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" If you like " Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" you may like "What's Up, Tiger Lily? (1966) - Dubbed in English" ASIN: 6304785801

Summary: Steve Martin rules
Review: This box set encompasses the early genius of Steve Martin. I would have loved it to include The Man With Two Brains, but the 3 here are otherwise great. A must have for any Martin fan.
