Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr (Steve Martin) is a self-proclaimed world's greatest neurosurgeon. He still pines for his late wife Rebecca. He accidentally runs over ruthless gold digger Dolores Benedict (Kathleen Turner) with his car. He uses his cranial screw-top brain surgery on her and then marries her. She's more interested in the lawn boy than him. They go to Vienna for a conference and their honeymoon. Serial killer 'Elevator Killer' is on the loose. Hfuhruhurr is befriended by Dr. Necessiter (David Warner) who has been getting brains from the Elevator Killer and keeping them alive in jars. Hfuhruhurr has had enough of Dolores and finds that he can telepathically communicate with the jarred brain of Anne Uumellmahaye (Sissy Spacek).Carl Reiner and Steve Martin unite in another one of their broad ridiculous comedies. It is non-stop amusement. It's also a matter of tastes. They're smaller laughs but the lines don't stop. The main change I would want is David Warner. He's a great dramatic actor but I wish they had a comedic actor doing something crazier. Kathleen Turner, on the other hand, is the perfect combination of sexy, evil, and comedy.

Apparently, it deals with most of the clichés in film noir and sci-fi, yet smashing them into tiny bits of zaniness and many cartoon-like jokes. The first viewing of this film was a riot, but then, knowing the jokes, it's not that wild anymore (for me, at least). Still, it's a fine, entertaining comedy, which is a rare thing nowadays. How could it be possible back in the 80s to make quality zaniness, if I may put it that way? Today's spoofs are so trivial and not funny... The twists in TMWTB are so surreal (a mild word), the characters' motivation and evolution (such big words) are mere caricature, the pace is so quick, and all of that is so in your face and silly that it works! It's a special kind of humor, continuing the half-absurd style of the Marx Bros. and perhaps it wouldn't have been that effective without very good comedic actors such as Mr. Martin (so innocent and, well, self confident) and Mrs. Turner (so stunning and funny at the same time). It looks as they have had a great time doing this film and I can see clearly why.

...Steve Martin's physical humor was the talk of the town. In his early years he was featured on the Sonny and Cher Comedy hour, the Ken Barry Show and the Smothers Brothers Show as a regular. He turned up frequently as host on Saturday Night Live, in every case showcasing his peculiar brand of off-the-wall physical humor and jester-esque feats. The Jerk can probably be considered his first real movie as a vehicle to his humor which is often seen as the first of his classics-trio with Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid second and The Man with Two Brains his third. Although I consider The Jerk to be the best of the trio, The Man with Two Brains is certainly a close second. The cast is brilliant with a sexy yet villainous wife played by Kathleen Turner, one year before her landmark role as the eccentric romance novelist Joan Wilder. David Warner fresh from Tron and Time Bandits who probably has the largest resume of movies and TV spots I have seen yet. Unless you lived under a rock and never turned on your TV during the 80's and 90's you've seen David Warner is some fashion... anyways where am I? oh... he also manages to keep up with the non-stop antics playing a brilliant yet mad scientist who has discovered a way to keep brains alive. Carl Reiner and Steve Martin twist another crazy tale together to showcases the unique humor of Martin. It's not the best Steve Martin has done, nor is it hilarious through and through, it's mostly a hit and miss spoof, The Man With Two Brains is certainly recommended for old time fans of Steve Martin before he traded in his physical humor for more straight-forward gags.

You either love or hate Man with Two Brains. Personally I love it and consider it one of Steve Martin's best. Speaking of Martin, he also gives one of his best performances in Man with Two Brains as Doctor Hfuruhurr as he gets to read his favourite poem, conduct a citizen's divorce and endure the world's toughest drink-driving test. Sissy Spacek is believable as the brain Martin falls in love with and Kathaleen Turner hilariously sends up her femme fatale persona, something she established in Body Heat. Man with Two Brains is well filmed, well directed and has a funny script and engaging story. Overall, sublime all round. 10/10 Bethany Cox
