Carl Reiner, the director of this film, and Steve Martin, an actor who has collaborated in some of the projects they've developed, are reunited again in this funny satire that has not been seen as much as it deserved. Mr. Reiner, one of the funniest creators in the industry, was in rare form when he decided to go ahead with this movie.
The film is a perfect vehicle for Steve Martin, a comedian that without the proper material tends to go overboard. As the notorious Dr. Hfuhruhurr, he is at his best performing the material. One of the funniest sequences in the film involves a hat that has been stuck around his middle as his delayed honeymoon gets an unforeseen delay.
Steve Martin gives a great performance as this mad scientist that has perfected a new technique in brain surgery. The gorgeous Kathleen Turner makes perfect foil for Mr. Martin's antics as she plays the calculating Dolores. David Warner, a man not notorious for his comedic roles, is a surprise with his Dr. Alfred. Paul Benedict, James Cromwell, Peter Hobbs, and even Merv Griffin, are seen in supporting roles.
This is a funny film with sharp dialog and fast pacing thanks to the talented Carl Reiner and his star, Steve Martin.
