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.
