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.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Awful!!!
Review: This film is supposed to be comedy, but Martin's character comes across as just plain creepy! I was hoping that a ten-ton safe would fall on the Larry Hubbard character, or that Godzilla would suddenly appear and turn him into a pile of smoking cinders with a jetlike column of fire. That way, he would be put out of his misery and it would be easier to sympathize with him. As it were, the Hubbard character comes across like a sexless zombie in a double-knit suit. Watching this film was embarrassing, tiring and a waste of time.

As it were, the Hubbard character comes across like a sexless zombie in a double-knit suit. Watching this film was as frustrating as watching a three week schedule of Roadrunner cartoons 24/7. Even "Dumb and Dumber" had at least a few redeeming qualities.

As of this writing, you can get a used dvd copy of this on amazon for about $9.00. My suggestion would be to throw your money into the gutter instead, because it will be a lot more entertaining and a lot less waste of time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Steve Martin at his finest.
Review: This is right up there with The Jerk and dead men don't wear Plaid as one of Steve Martins best ever films. Steve along with Charles Grodin tell an exadurated and hillarious story of what it's like to be a "single guy" it's funny it's romantic... it's everything a movie should be!!
