Review of The Jerk (1979) by Ray Conlogue for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) — 12 Jan 2015
I didn't find “The Jerk” very funny...There's a smarmy undercurrent in this movie that seems to imply that Steve Martin may be playing a jerk, but that we all know what a cool guy he is. Well, if you're going to play a jerk, play one as if you think you are one, or you might wind up looking like a jerk.
