Customer Reviews of The Man with Two Brains
"It's Pronounced Dr. Hfuhruhrr!!!...." Once upon a time, back in the 80's, there was a physical comedian of such brilliance, such intelligent silliness, who made movies like this. Alas, that silly guy has all but disappeared in the tamer '90's. Of course, I'm talking about that wild and crazy guy Steve Martin. This is, by far, Steve's funniest movie(besides The Jerk). He plays a prominent brain surgeon who falls for a gold digging hussy(played seductively wicked by Kathleen Turner). Once the new wife shows her true colors, our beloved doctor falls in love with a "special" brain he finds in the lab of a mad scientist(David Warner). Where else would he find it?. He can hear the brain's thoughts. The voice of the brain supplied by Sissy Spacek. It shows how much a man can fall for a woman's mind, rather than her body. Martin is a master genius. That much is true. He delivers one of his most memorable comedic performances. Kathleen Turner is wonderfully bitchy in the role. Who else is more suited?. The gags are silly and some are over the top. But, it works. Martin has a knack for making simple things laugh out loud funny. He also has a way of making silly things look downright intelligent. He can make walking down the street funny. That's the sign of a true comedian. Carl Reiner directed this comedy classic. Watch out for the 'Elevator Killer'. It's one of the better jokes. Really funny. Now, if only people could pronounce the good doctor's name right....
A no-brainer...buy it!
The Man With Two Brains is a comedy that should appeal to any fan of classic horror, Steve Martin or Carl Reiner.
Steve Martin plays the most brilliant brain surgeon in the world, Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr, inventor of screw-top surgery. Written by Carl Reiner, Steve Martin and George Gipe, directed by Reiner, The Man With Two Brains delivers laughs a-plenty. Co-stars include Kathleen Turner as a deliciously evil siren and David Warner as a rival scientist with an enviable collection of brains in jars.
It's a five-star movie but a four-star DVD because of the lack of widescreen.
Clever Script Wrapped in Steve Martin Lunacy
Steve Martin is in his element, able to use all of his comic talents, including song & dance, juggling and acrobatics. The script is delicious, including many one-of-a-kind lines that will be long remembered and credited to this film.
The bizarre "Frankenstein-like" story of a self-important brain surgeon in search of true love, who eventually finds it in a glass laboratory jar. The wicked wife (played perfectly by Kathleen Turner) and the parade of walk-ons are hilarious. Although the story is rediculous, the comic nonsense will keep the viewers attention. The awful (fake) German spoken by the "locals" in the Austrian setting is outdone only by the over-the-top situations. The elvevater-murderer side-plot (and the eventual revelation of identity of the killer) are wonderfully amusing.
One serious flaw is the fact that the Steve Martin character never rises above the selfish-pig level. To the end, he is interested only in his own wants and needs, willing to murder so he could have the "perfect" wife. This extreme selfishness may put viewers off (it did me). Otherwise, this is one big Steve Martin Special!****
