brain power all the way
14 August 2006
I'll admit that I like "The Man with Two Brains" the least of the Steve Martin-Carl Reiner collaborations (the others were "The Jerk", "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" and "All of Me"), but it's still a hoot, even if it does run a little long. Featuring him as a surgeon befriending a brain (voiced by Sissy Spacek), he's a little more subdued here than normal, but his interactions with some people are great, and I like what happens to his hair occasionally.

So, even though it's not quite "All of Me", "TMWTB" is still a comedy for the ages. It's got brain power to the max! Also starring Kathleen Turner, James Cromwell, and even Estelle Reiner and Merv Griffin in small roles.

"Scum queen"...what a line!
