Amazon.co.uk Review

Meet Dr Michael Hfuhruhurr (Steve Martin), the famous brain surgeon. Perhaps the name is not unfamiliar, though it is unpronounceable; the good doctor is the inventor of the celebrated "screw-top" method of brain surgery, in which the top of the skull twists off as easily as the lid of a pickle jar. The man may be a medical genius, but his talent for love leaves something to be desired, which explains his marriage to a gold-digging vixen (Kathleen Turner). Ah, but Dr. Hfuhruhurr may yet find true love, in the form of the disembodied brain he discovers in the lab of a mad scientist--David Warner, gone the Frankenstein route. (Lovely image: Hfuhruhurr in a rowboat, taking the brain out for a romantic ride on the lake.) Thus, in its own utterly goofy way, does The Man with Two Brains delve into the eternal dilemma of male indecision: does a man fall in love with a woman's body, or with her mind? Along the way, of course, there are gags both highbrow and very, very lowbrow, a mind-body split that might be why critics have tended to prefer the more sophisticated slapstick of All of Me (directed, like this film, by Carl Reiner) and Roxanne among the early Steve Martin outings. Still, this is one of Martin's funniest pictures, and a game Kathleen Turner, fresh off her Body Heat success, ably spoofs her own sultry image. The cerebral love object is voiced by Sissy Spacek. --Robert Horton

5.0 out of 5 stars the funniest comedy ever, 23 Mar 2004

By	P. o'reilly "quoth101" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This film is simply hilarious. Why? Because right from the very start we are drawn into a world of the sublimely ridiculous. Steve Martin and others act the part brilliantly. The jokes are the zaniest and most urinatingly funny you will ever see. This is a classic film and has been overlooked by many. You will not regret buying this film if you love silly and crazy humour. It is the kind of film to watch with a new girlfriend and laugh yourselves stupid!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious - Another of Steve Martin's early triumphs., 11 Dec 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Man With Two Brains [VHS] [1983] (VHS Tape)

Dr Hofffhhhhuuur (God knows how you spell it) falls in love with a brain and sets about trying to find a body for it/her. Strange and stupid, but it works - really well!

4.0 out of 5 stars Dated movie but a classic, 5 July 2005

By	George W. Barker "wildsurfer57" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is Steve Martin before he started making boring not so funny family type movies. It's a bit dated but he is so silly. So many funny scenes, such as when he is rowing a boat on a lake with a brain in a jar and he sticks a pair of wax lips on the jar so he can kiss it (he fell in love with a brain).
