This mediocre Sci-Fi/Comedy from 1983 was so funny that I honestly forgot to laugh.
It didn't help matters much that I'm not a Steve Martin fan. His annoyingly goofy screen-persona tends to either bore me, or irk me off a lot. In this picture Martin's dumb histrionics did both.
Of course, I can't say that the "Man with Two Brains" was a total waste of time. There were some genuinely funny moments in this film. Like, for instance, there's one real gem when the doctor ventures down to the "red light" district of town desperately searching for a hot enough body to house that brain that he's been storing in a glass jar of liquid preservatives - And it's here that he meets up with the hooker with the squeaky voice.
In my opinion, Kathleen Turner's performance as the doctor's sleazy, whorish wife was just as lousy and unfunny as anything that Martin did in the film.
