The Jerk (1979)
No, I'd never seen this before. Stop laughing. Anyway, yeah. The movie. It's funny. I mean, it's real inconsistent (aren't most of these knockabout absurdist kitchen-sink comedies?) but when it's on it's total fucking spot-on. It's quotable like Bartlett, too. (My favorite: "Stay away from the cans!") Why isn't Steve Martin's sense of humor this bizarre anymore?
Grade: B
