Ironically, The Man With Two Brains isn't the most cerebral of comedies, but with outrageous comic Steve Martin at his zaniest, the lovely Kathleen Turner at her sexiest, and writer/director Carl Reiner on top form having already successfully worked with Martin on The Jerk and Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, the film is a no-brainer for those who enjoy their humour totally off the wall.Martin stars as celebrated brain surgeon Michael Hfuhruhurr, who marries his gorgeous patient Delores Benedict (Turner), unaware that she is a femme fatale who plans on driving him to an early grave. While visiting the lab of fellow scientist Dr. Alfred Necessiter (David Warner), Dr. Hfuhruhurr establishes telepathic contact with Anne Uumellmahaye, a disembodied brain in a jar of life preserving fluid. As Delores becomes more and more abhorrent, withholding sex to stress out her husband but sleeping around behind his back, Hfuhruhurr finds himself falling in love with Anne, and vows to find her a body as perfect as her personality.A mix of wacky sight gags, surrealism, witty wordplay and highly quotable dialogue, there really is something to tickle most funny bones, whether it be the hilarious erection scene, Hfuhruhurr quoting terrible poetry, Delores threatening 'I'll get you for this, you n****r k**e w*p', or Necessiter demonstrating how his two near successes behave. Watch the film and I guarantee that the next time you physically throw someone out of your home, you won't be able to resist saying 'into the mud, scum queen!'.

I swear, Steve Martin did some of his best work with Carl Reiner. "The Man with Two Brains" is a winning mix of high and lowbrow humor, with much of the movie listing toward the absurd (like the star making out with a jarred brain, for example). Kathleen Turner offers up her sultry image for gags, while ... no, scratch that - everyone here does (David Warner included). As Steve Martin movies go, this is certainly one of my favorites, with its laundry list of one-liners and endearing sense of humor. And as if that's not enough, when we find out who the Elevator Killer is, it's a doozy. I laughed harder at some of the jokes than I have in a long while. 8.5/10

This film by Steve Martin is one of my favourites. I believe it is one of his great films, along side Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Bowfinger and The Three Amigos, but that is my humble opinion! Also, as a musician into electronic, synthesized music, the soundtrack is superb. Trouble is, I cannot find it anywhere. Kathleen Turner plays an excellent role too, and you really start to feel sorry for Steve Martin. The sexual frustration is intense!! I feel it borders on the 'Naked Gun' style, which is a big plus point for me. When all is said and done, The Man With Two Brains is a great & funny film. Even for todays hard to please audience!

I hadn't seen this movie in quite a few years I guess. I had actually forgotten just how incredibly funny Kathleen Turner is. Of course, ten years or so can make a huge difference in the way I appreciate anything so I was more than psyched when a friend bought this movie at Ross the other day. The whole farce and its perfect cast are worth it even if the underlying opinions of the writer aren't immediately understood. Years ago I caught an old recording on the radio about the Lobotomy demonstrations performed back in the 50's by the "innovator" in Psychiatric medicine that invented it. Obviously, Herr Fuhrer (even if it IS Steve Martin) is a parody based very loosely on doctors of that time. Screw-top brain surgery is pretty innovative for sure, which feeds the enormous but self-deluded ego who falls in love with the most manipulative and evil, but very beautiful Dolores of the great speaking voice and fabulous fashion sense- she even knows what costume to wear for each particular mind game she easily works on him. There couldn't be a more perfectly matched couple as far as how equally selfish and driven they both are. Only one problem with the the brain surgeon- he can only ultimately be tied down by a woman who also tells him he is always right and of course,everything else he wants to hear. He grows tired of feeling used and never getting laid as much as he thought he would. Falls in love with a female brain that fits all his needs but must have a body to put it in or all is lost for the Fuhrer in his quest for love. Well, obviously the mean wifey dies and the perfectly docile brain is switched in- food and body issues included but somehow he isn't interested in her body being perfect so long as the brain IS. I secretly hope she gives him a hernia while the dumbass tries to pick her up the second time. Nothing beats a great Steve Martin comedy!
