One of the Funniest Comedies Ever Made

The narcissist Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr (Steve Martin) is one of the greatest neurosurgeons of the world that has developed a cranial screw- top brain entry technique for his successful surgeries. He grieves and has not recovered from the loss of his beloved wife Rebecca. Dr. Hfuhruhurr gives an interview about his career to a reporter while driving home in his car. Meanwhile the vixen gold-digger Dolores Benedict (Kathleen Turner) has an argument with her husband and untimely leaves the real estate. Dr. Hfuhruhurr accidentally hits Dolores and operates her saving her life. While recovering in the hospital, Dolores seduces Dr. Hfuhruhurr and they get married. However, the hot Dolores always refuses to have sex with her husband, claiming that she is not feeling well while shags with several men.

Dr. Hfuhruhurr decides to travel in honeymoon with Dolores to Vienna and attend a medical conference. However, after an incident, Dr. Hfuhruhurr decides to divorce Dolores. Out of the blue, Dolores receives a phone call from his lawyer telling that Dr. Hfuhruhurr has inherited 50 million dollars and she changes her behavior toward him. Meanwhile Dr. Hfuhruhurr meets his colleague Dr. Alfred Necessiter (David Warner) that collects brains alive for his experiments, most of them victims of the notorious The Elevator Killer. Soon Dr. Hfuhruhurr has a telepathic connection with one of the brains that belonged to Anne Uumellmahaye (Sissy Spacek voice) and they fall in love with each other. When Dr. Hfuhruhurr learns the reason why Dolores changed he behavior, she revenges putting Anne's brain in the oven. Now Dr. Hfuhruhurr needs to find a body to save the life of his beloved Anne.

"The Man with Two Brains" is silly but also one of the funniest comedies ever made. Steve Martin is in one of the best moments of his successful career as well as Kathleen Turner, immediately after "Body Heat" and in the top of her beauty. I have seen this movie several times on VHS and now on DVD and I always have good-time with the absurd situations along the story. The cameo of Jeffrey Combs shaving Dolores is among the most hilarious scenes of this top-notch (and underrated) comedy. My vote is eight.

Get that cat out of here.

Few comedy actors can be as brilliant as Steve Martin when he's on top of his game. During the "wild and crazy" part of his film career, when he often collaborated with director Carl Reiner, he practically raised silliness to an art form. "The Man with Two Brains" is undeniably dopey, but it's hilariously so, coming up with enough verbal and visual gags to sustain it through an energetic hour and a half. The very funny script (by Steve, Carl, and George Gipe, the latter a writer whose works include the novelizations of "Gremlins" and "Back to the Future") can't help but lose some momentum as it goes along, but it remains quite watchable through to the end.

Steve is a hoot as the brilliant (according to him) brain surgeon Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr, who has pioneered "screw top, zip lock" brain surgery. Into his life comes sultry, scheming witch Dolores Benedict (a radiant Kathleen Turner), who treats him like garbage. A ray of hope then enters his life when he falls in love with a brain in a jar, voiced by Sissy Spacek. He then goes about figuring out how to create a new "home" for the brain, whose name is Anne.

Steve, Carl, and company show that it takes very clever, and intelligent, comic minds to come up with such engaging foolishness. While the film does exhaust most of its best gags in the earlier parts, it's so wonderfully played by all that it still wins you over. The delivery of the lines is often breathless. As has probably been said numerous times before, two of the best bits involve the decor of Dr. Necessiters' (David Warner) condo, which looks like a much more traditional mad scientists' lab on the inside, and the identity of the fiendish Elevator Killer, once of the most priceless payoffs that you'll see in a film of this kind.

A rich variety of familiar faces pop up to lend Steve able support: Paul Benedict, Richard Brestoff, James Cromwell, George Furth, Earl Boen, Francis X. McCarthy, Randi Brooks (as the drop dead gorgeous hooker with the off-putting voice), Bernard Behrens, etc. Carls' wife Estelle, who went on to have that great cameo in their son Robs' film "When Harry Met Sally", appears as a tourist / victim; Jeffrey Combs, pre "Re-Animator", has a bit at about the seven to eight minute mark.

Zany fun, with a funky electronic score by Joel Goldsmith, that is perfect for anybody who just wants to relax their brain for 90 minutes of levity.

Eight out of 10.

Super-dooper uneven and unpolished,...but still very funny

Wow, was this an incredibly funny and incredibly uneven film. Like THE JERK, this is a certain roughness about the script that make it very fresh and appealing but also pretty amateurish and stupid from time to time as well.

Also, when I saw the film, I watched it with my grandfather. This was a very uncomfortable experience, as seeing an adult comedy with nudity in it with an 80 year-old relative just seems creepy. But, he sure laughed his head off, so I guess I was just the one with the hangup.

Anyways, Steve Martin plays one of the foremost brain surgeons, Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr (pronounced "Hrrrr-rrrr-rrr). The way everyone had trouble pronouncing the name was pretty lame and was beaten like a dead horse. Well, despite this, the doctor has perfected the new "screw top" method of surgery and saves a beautiful lady (Kathleen Turner) from sure death.

They fall in love and marry soon after. But, Kathleen seems intent on driving the doctor crazy, as she never seems willing to consummate their marriage. This lead to some very funny but crude jokes, by the way. However, despite her many excuses, he catches her being unfaithful many times and yet can't bring himself to divorce her.

It is during this same time that he meets a very strange man, Dr. Alfred Necessiter (David Warner) who is doing unethical experiments with brains--wanting to put them in new bodies and revive them after the bodies had died. Necessiter's lab, by the way, is the coolest on the planet--you'll just have to see it to understand what I mean. For some inexplicable reason, Dr. Hfuhruhurr hears a voice coming from one of the brains! It seems they brain isn't quite dead and they fall in love (the scenes of them out on dates are priceless).

But, what to do about the evil and unfaithful wife as well as this brain he's fallen for?!? Yep, you gotcha, the "Windex Killer" helps solve the problem and almost everyone lives happily ever after. And, since you probably have no idea what all this means, watch the movie yourself to find out and laugh out loud at all the silliness and high energy.
