Movie Review: Never Got It
Summary: 1 Stars
. . i ordered this movie over a month ago and still never recieved it. .Movie Review: a classic...
Summary: 5 Stars
That I shopped, bought, delivered and have never watched... but if the time should come when I would like to see a previously seen movie, I now have one.Movie Review: Martin In His 'Wild & Crazy' Days
Summary: 4 Stars
This is very popular movie in its day in which I saw twice at the theater! Years later, watching it on DVD wasn't the same. Oh, it was still funny but just not the "hilarious" movie I always remembered it as. Maybe its reputation and memory exceeded its value, or maybe it's funnier when you are younger. The movie didn't change; I must have.
Whatever, there is still a lot of good laughs in year, subtle and slapstick variety. Now I laugh more at the subtle things. Almost all the characters in here, beginning with Steve Martin's "Navin R. Johnson," are totally wacky. Bernadette Peters, by the way, never looked prettier.
This was in the earlier days of the ratings system and that PG rating would be at least PG-13 today. It still fun to see it after a long absence. Martin was on a roll back in those days, "a wild and crazy guy," and it's good that he's still entertaining us 30 years later, although in a more subtle way. Hey, he's getting older, too.
Movie Review: Never received.
Summary: 1 Stars
I have been very disappointed as I never received this dvd and was told it was an lost item in the mailI never got any reply when I sent to find out why I did not receive another.I am not willing to pay for another one and am disappointed to the way this was handled. ThelmaMovie Review: Steve Martin At His Best! Too Bad About the DVD Though!
Summary: 3 Stars
Steve Martin shows his comedic genius here on this late 70s comedy that ages very well to remain funny in most parts even for today's audiences. The only problem is with this version of the dvd which although isn't too bad picture quality-wise, the sound quality comes only in the mono and so isn't very good. Also there are no special features of any kind which makes it probably wise to wait for a properly restored and remastered version with at least 5.1 surround options to surface in either the standard or Blu-ray formats. Also, this full-frame version seems to leave out a lot of the original film and so I would recommend at least an anamorphic widescreen version to do justice to your 16:9 screens.
Great work by Martin but perhaps you should give this particular version of the dvd a miss.
Summary of Jerk [VHS]
Carl Reiner (Where's Poppa?) brought comic Steve Martin to the screen in this mostly funny 1979 movie about a relentlessly stupid but innocent man, whom we get to know from childhood (where it never occurred to him that he was white as he was raised by a family of black sharecroppers) to romance (where he doesn't quite know what to do with Bernadette Peters). Martin is game as the moron, and this is the kind of film with funny moments people still talk about. --Tom KeoghFish Out of Water Video
