From the Back Cover

That wild and crazy guy, Steve Martin, makes his film-starring debut in this wild and crazy comedy hit The Jerk . Steve portrays Navin Johnson, adopted son of a poor black sharecropper family, whose crazy inventions lead him from rags to riches and right back to rags. Along the way, he's smitten with a lady motorcycle racer, survives a series of screwball attacks by a deranged killer, becomes a millionaire by inventing the "Opti-grab" handle for eyeglasses - and shows why he's one of the hottest comic performers in America today.

"Die gas pumper!" 2 July 2002
By A Customer
Format:DVD
The funniest film ever made - probably. So many scenes of sheer genius and so many lines to bore friends with, this really is a wonderful wonderful film. Steve Martin makes today's contemporary US "comedians" like Adam Sandler look like amateurs. How the hell does ( or sadly, did) he come up with stuff like the "old Cup O'Pizza guy", "Stay away from the cans" and the Opti-grab ( one of history's most useless inventions)?
You will not regret buying this I promise and like all good "art" this film reveals more and more each time you watch it.

Format:VHS Tape
The Jerk is an absolute joy to watch. In Navin Johnson, Martin has created a hilariously stupid but loveable star. I'm a huge fan of Steve Martin and love every one of his films but this is definitely my favourite. Even the cover picture on the case had me laughing for ages. It's impossible to dislike this film, you'll laugh till you hurt. Highlights for me are Navin's Thermos song, his hitchhiking skills and his endless enthusiasm and optimism will bring a smile to anyones face. Steve Martin is a comic genius. If you like this then you'll love The Man With Two Brains.

Steve Martin's first, and possibly his best movie. Bernadette Peters is also excellent in this movie. I also love the little song they sing together ("You Belong To Me").

The DVD encoding is not brilliant. If you buy DVD's just for the superior audio and picture quality, get this one on VHS - it seems obvious that no clean-up has been done for the DVD, which was a disappointment for me.
