Review of The Jerk (1979) by Peter B — 02 Aug 2008
A good comedy that has some really funny parts but has a real stop/start feel and doesnt flow as a film...more like watching a sketch show. Steve Martin is good altho is borderline annoying to be honest - I say dat as a big Martin fan - and it gets a bit tiresome near the end.
Still there are great moments - the can shooting scene, the reading of the smudged letter and the dog's name being 'shithead' - but overall not as good as expected.
