Summary: A classic, and one of the funniest movies around.
Review: One of my all-time favorites, The Jerk has a quote for every occasion.Watching the nightly news? "Could there be a God that could let this happen?" Going to the bank? "Ah yes... Filling out of the deposit slip. Two hundred and fifty dollarinis." Having dinner in a fancy restaurant? "Waiter! There are snails on her plate! Now take them away before she sees them! Oh, and bring us some fresh wine, none of this old stuff." Truly a classic, and some of Steve Martin's best work. I don't need one other thing, not one... except this.

Summary: "All I need is this remote, and that's it. And this chair"
Review: This is a funny movie, although Steve Martin isn't my personal favorite. This movie made me laugh. It's a dumb-comedy (as with most Steve Martin's) about a guy... well I won't tell you the movie. Don't wanna ruin it. All I'm gonna say is... "I'm picking out a thermos for you" haha.

Summary: I'm picking out a thermos for You!
Review: And this movie! Nipsey thinks THE JERK to be the best work of Steve Martin's movie life. Martin as Navin R. Johnson is one of the best roles ever. Nipsey was up for a part as Navin's brother but lost out. Not too upset because this was a classic. You like flicks such as... USED CARS,CADDY SHACK,MEATBALLS, then you will LOVE THE JERK! Nipsey sez to buy it now or regret it tomorrow!

Summary: "He hates these cans. Stay away from the cans!"
Review: "I'm picking out a Thermos for you....." This movie is arguably one of the best comedies of all time. Highly underated, it contains dry humor, physical comedy and all the colorful characters that make it great. Once you watch it you'll begin quoting the insane plot. One of Steve Martrin's best! And I don't believe any other movie has a dog named "S**thead" in it.

Summary: Sporadically Hilarious Steve Martin Comedy Vehicle!
Review: This terribly uneven comedy has it's moments but is basically feels like a 90 min. sketch from his old SNL days. Filled with a lot of low-brow humor and crude jokes, has some very funny moments, but after a while it gets tiresome. But don't get me wrong, it's one of the funniest films ever. You will like it even more if you're a Steve Martin fan. Steve Martin has never been funnier as Navin R. Johnson, who was 'born a poor black child', the typical rags-to-riches story follows and Martin meets the perfect girl, but every episode is filled with so many gags that we forget the story and just accept the premise for all the upcoming jokes. Very raunchy and sometimes the humor seems forced, but few movies are this continuously funny. A funny time if you're willing to accept the premise. From a scale of 1-10 I give this film a 7!

Summary: It¿s a Profit Deal, Takes the Pressure Off
Review: Step right up and win some crap! There are so many memorable sound bytes in this movie that it could rival Caddyshack for the honor of greatest quote fest. Uncommon hilarity and situational goofiness mark this film Steve's comic classic. This movie has been a family favorite since it debuted on TV in the early eighties, when we were too young to see the uncensored version. So we got to deal with Navin's dog being named 'Stupid' instead of ..., close examination of the poor dubbing clued us in though. The TV version also includes parts that the uncensored is missing, ala Navin's bid to be president of Texaco oil and his generous contribution to Donny's airplane seats fund. It's an old story, one you've probably heard before, witness Navin's inability to find the rhythm as a white man being raised by poor black sharecroppers as their own. Singing the blues with the family doesn't help, because the songs depress him. Not even the sandwich wrapped in cellophane can stem the feeling that he's somehow 'different'. Mother sits him down and in a tender moment tells him he would be loved if he were the color of a baboons 'head'. Upon finding the beat, Navin strikes out on his own to see the world, proceeding past the end of the fence. My favorite chapter of the film comes next when Navin takes his first job at Jackie Mason's gas station. This situation leads to some of the juiciest dialogue as Navin haggles for a $1.10 an hour wage, wrangles a rental living space, loses a church to a car-load of credit card toting Latinos including Mr. Neusbaum, and is targeted for termination by a psychotic hit man. Beyond that, Navin finds love and lust, fame and fortune in turn while never forgetting his parents and past 'that's a good boy'. Navin's child-like naïveté coupled with his stupidity makes him an extremely endearing character, ultimately capable of winning the hand of Marie [Bernadette Peters], his true love... it also helps that he has a special purpose, 11 million dollars, and daisy stems on his roses. Watch this film and be brought under Navin's spell, and remember you don't need one other thing... except...

Summary: A riot!
Review: I rented this movie after watching part of it on cable and laughed my head off. This is my second favorite Steve Martin film ever (the first being Parenthood), and the humor even meets today's standards. I have seen this movie over ten times, and I still laugh everytime I see it. Even though it is Steve Martin's first movie, it still remains one of the best. This film was absolutely hilarious, and Steve Martin could not have been better. I recommend this film to anybody who is looking for a good laugh. A must for any Steve Martin fan!

Summary: Steve Marin Never Topped This One.
Review: Hands down, my favorite comedy film. Steve Martin, who was raised by a poor black family, is shocked to learn that he's white. So many highlights- "Tonight You Belong To Me" being played on the beach, his explanation of how nine days seems like seventeen, his "special purpose"... I saw this movie when it first came out and only recently purchased the tape. It's even funnier now. Wickedly funny, belly-laugh funny, tops "There's Something About Mary". Irrevent, over-the-top humor at it's best, with Carl Reiner directing!

Summary: One of the Best Steve Martin films.
Review: The Jerk is a classic today, this film has a lot of great laughs, this was Steve Martin first film and he also Co-Wrote, like his another funny films. I did like the ideal, he was raise by a black family. he discover a lot of things, after he leave his family to be somebody. Bernadette Peters ,she good in this film also. Director work with Steve Martin in two another films, including-The Man With Two Brains. I didn`t see all the films of Steve Martin, but he`s really funny guy. Everybody knows for his routine-Wild and Crazy Guy from Saturday Night Live. Grade:A-.

Summary: Steve's only funny film?
Review: I can't understand how someone could berate this film. Steve Martin has done some funny things over his over-extended career but "The Jerk" was his best work by far. From the oil can scene to the cat juggling scene to the climatic "...and I don't need anything else!" scene this movie makes me fall to the floor laughing every time I see it.
