Review of The Jerk (1979) by Brett A — 23 Jan 2013
Silly, stupid, ridiculous, over the top, but funny as hell. This is one of Steve Martin's best comedies following right behind Planes, Trains, and Automobiles in my opinion. Even though it is ludicrously implausible and cheesy it's also self aware of that fact which makes it work.
