Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Steve Martin at his best! Believe me, I'd give it a million stars if I could. This movie is my all-time favorite comedy movie. Unlike other comedies (like Austin Powers), I can watch this again and again and again and again and only grow more fond of it! It's filled with quotable quotes (the thermos song, "The new phone book's here! The new phone book's here! ", and let's not forget the cat juggling scene!), colorful characters, hilarious situations, and just the kind of stuff that Steve Martin got famous for in the first place. But even though Steve's grown up a little over the years (he doesn't do as much physical, active humor and goes for more subtle jokes now), this film immortalizes the wild and crazy guy that put on that wooden arrow-through-the-head and started the fad of grown men going on live TV and acting like ten year olds. Go Steve! Go The Jerk! Go fishsticks! (go shouting random things in Amazon.com reviews! What the heck...!) Rating: - ya mean I'm gonna stay this colour? sniff Carl Reiner shines as director and Steve Martin & Bernadette Peters shine as Navin Johnson and his future bride. The film opens up somewhere down south with Navin and the family of sharecroppers who took him in. Navin begins to see how "different" he is from his family and they soon tell him he was adopted. His mother (Mabel King) proudly tells him she would love him if he was "the colour of a baboon's ss. Navin soonafter leaves home going out on the road in front of his house. He then begins hitchhiking when a truck comes down the road, the guy stops and says to Navin. "How far ya goin?" Navin says. "St.Louis, how far you going to which the driver says "To the enda this fence". Navin says"Ok" hops in throws his bag into the back of the truck and rides to the end of the fence. The film has similar events(you can't help but laugh) at Steve Martin's style and skill at being comedic in whatever he does. He then finds a job at a gas station owned by (Jackie Mason) who offers Navin a job as president of Texaco Oil (go figure) The film had me laughing start to finish. I had the pleasure of seeing it on the big screen when it was first released in 1979 Hysterical! ** I'd give it 6 stars if I could enjoy! Rating: - A True Classic** If you havent seen this movie you are truley missing out my brotha! Steve Martin is great in this movie. I think that this his definitly his best movie ever. Steve Martin plays a man named Navin who left his poor black family from the south (yes BLACK family) to start a new life of his own. Steve goes to St. Louis and starts working at a gas staion and then gets another job at a carnival where he meets his true love. I dont want to tell you everthing about this movie because it is so great and you must experience it for yourself!! Buy this know!!! This is one of the top 20 funniest movies of all time!!!!
