Synopsis
Top surgeon Dr. Michael Hfurhuhurr (Steve Martin), pioneer of the screw-top brain technique, and his foxy wife, Dolores (Kathleen Turner), try to save their ailing marriage with a trip to Vienna, where the doctor promptly falls in love with a brain in a jar (voiced by Sissy Spacek). Unfortunately, Brain #21 is dying, and Hfurhuhurr must find her a body fast in this 1983 comic gem, which features Martin at the peak of his wild and crazy powers.
Critics' reviews
- "This is Mr. Martin's movie, and he brings to it the ingeniously dopey presence that's become his trademark"
- "I guess it's a tribute to 'The Man With Two Brains' that I found myself laughing a fair amount of the time, despite my feelings about Martin."
- "Far from avoiding the tackier implications of this concept, the film revels in them like a puppy in clover; Martin's delivery of the line, 'Into the mud, slime queen!" is alone nearly worth the price of admission'."
- "'The Man with Two Brains' is a fitfully amusing return by Steve Martin to the broad brand of lunacy that made his first feature, "The Jerk" [1979], so successful
- "Most of the time the film is simply stupid; not offensive, just silly."
