My Blue Heaven / The Man with Two Brains
»rank: 22266
0ur opinion:Description:lt's comedy that's out of its mind (and the drunk-driving test is really, really hard!). Director Carl Reiner and star Steve Martin put their manic brains together in The Man with Two Brains, spoofing mad-scientist movies with a madder scientist: Dr. Hfuhruhurr (Martin), smitten with a disembodied brain he plans to implant into a curvaceous vixen (Kathleen Turner). The zaniness continues in My Blue Heaven, which asks Can an urban hood be happy with suburbanhood? Martin is a mob informant tucked away in a Witness Protection Program. ...

How to Commit Marriage
»rank: 70161
0ur opinion: :Bob Hope and 0scar-winner Jane Wyman star as the perfect married couple with one minor exception: They are about to announce their divorce. However their daughter is getting married. And that's just the beginning. The young couple must deal with the trials and tribulations of the groom's father (Jackie Gleason) as he tries to stop the wedding. The film was quite fitting as Bob saw his own daughter Nora get married that same year. Taking the helm as director was longtime collaborator Norman Panama. Panama directed ...

Car Wash (Full Screen)
»rank: 74451
0ur opinion: :Richard Pryor's face is plastered all over the cover of Car Wash, but don't be fooled. This slight comedy, made in 1976, is an ensemble piece much like Robert Altman's or Alan Rudolph's all-star movies in that there are a lot of familiar faces who have relatively little screen time or business to attend to. Set in smoggy Los Angeles, the film opens with a radio announcer's voiceover, 'Hey, hey, L.A. lt's a brand new day.' And the camera pans the street, zooming in on the Dee-Luxe ...

I'm Not Rappaport
»rank: 37805
0ur opinion: :Walter Matthau and 0ssie Davis are the best reasons to see this Herb Gardner (A Thousand Clowns) comedy-drama about bickering, octogenarian companions who meet daily in Manhattan's Central Park. Spinning fictions, pushed around by yuppie scum, brutalized by extortionists and drug dealers, the two men go right on with their benchwarming rituals despite the entreaties of family and logic. Gardner deserves a passing grade for his directing effort, though he sabotages a couple of ripe opportunities to let his two great lead actors intensify the emotion of ...
