“I can’t believe this. I can’t even die right.” – Edwina Cutwater

Brief Synopsis – A lawyer’s body is accidentally taken over by the soul of an eccentric millionaire.
My Take on it – Hilarious film that shows the comic genius of Steve Martin. He is able to play this character as if he is split into two halves with a different person controlling each side and he does so in such a convincing way. Martin and Lily Tomlin have amazing chemistry together and this enhances the way that the story plays out so well. Not many comedians /actors could successfully pull off what he does here and this is truly a testament to his talent. Just watching the scene where he walks down the street is enough proof of this.
Recommended!
