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.

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.

Format:DVD
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.

Seems like it lasts for about 37 minutes and 24 seconds.
I'll try not to go off on quoting the funniest lines in this review because you really do have to see it to appreciate how hilarious this is. Read more

Funniest film I've ever seen
I have been looking to own a copy of this film for ages. To say the film is funny is an understatement, I need a box of tissues to mop up my tears of laughter! Read more

Funniest film I've seen in my life. By far.
There are so MANY side-splitting moments in this ludicrous comedy, it's hard to know where to start. Read more

Cult classic - this film has me in stitches every time.
I wish Steve Martin didn't get so main stream, his later films have never touched on the genius of "The Jerk" and other earlier films like "The Man With Two... Read more

Steve Martin's finest hour to date
This daft classic incorporates many of Steve's live act routines that made him such a huge stand-up draw (kitten juggling? happy feet?). Read more
