The Man with Two Brains (1983)

This is the most assured and hilarious of the three Martin-Carl Reiner collaborations.

The Man with Two Brains, which never ceases to amuse, is at its best when most outrageous.

Pure escapist madness. And a helluvalota fun.

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.

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.
