Since the first time when l watched this picture l really find it odd and outrageously funny,the trio Martin,Tomlin and the great director Carl Reiner already implied a success,Martin make a physical comedy,clumsy sometimes in most of time and the originality of the plot reach the target,Victoria Tennant is also another high point together Dana Elcar,Madolyn Smith just Adorn the picture,seems foolish but pure entertainment comedy of 80' style!!Resume: First watch: 1988 / How many: 4 / Source: TV-Cable TV-DVD / Rating: 7.25

I am rather surprised that this one came out in 1984, I was thinking it was a 87 or 88 release. So a bit older than I was thinking. I thought this one was okay when I was a kid. It had its moments as it must have considering the two great comedic actors within it. Still, it was also a bit of a mess too, as there more than a couple of scenes of extreme awkwardness and the fact that Lily Tomlin is reduced to mainly a voice over with a few appearances in a mirror or two. The film is about a woman that is very sickly and she is very close to passing on. She has a plan though, as she is going to use a man of mysticism to transfer her soul into that of a healthy and sexy young lady so that she may live out her days happily and healthy for the first time ever. However, things do not go as planned as a small accident causes half her soul to be trapped within the body of an attorney played by Steve Martin. So you get a lot of scenes of him acting as if he is being controlled and at times as if he is female. It has some funny moments though and overall it is somewhat good, just not as good as one would expect when seeing both of this two comedy performers are within it.

Most of the time it's not OK to like a Steve Martin movie, except for one of his early movies, of which this is one of those. However this movie really isn't as good as funny as people making it sound it is.Basically, the movie was simply not funny enough. And it's not like my name is Grumpy. I chuckled only a couple of times but further more the movie only annoyed me with its stupid simple story and not really likable characters.Not really Steve Martin's fault though that this movie doesn't work out as funny. He is really great as a half-man-half-woman, when a deceased woman possesses the right side of his body. He plays it convincing and funny and it's a pretty amazing job, the more you start thinking about it.It also is not like I hated watching this movie, since it's basically a non-stop comedy that trows jokes at you, of which only a few are really effective.I sort of hate this comedies with simple, stupid stories with no effort put into it. Most plot-lines also really don't get wrapped up properly. It also disturbed me how totally non-likable the characters were. Basically each character in this movie is a *beep* or a *beep*. How are you seriously supposed to care about them or what will ever happen to them. Especially Edwina Cutwater is not a character to love and so is also really the Steve Martin character, who cheats on his girlfriend, even after telling her he wants to marry her he still runs off with another dame.Still worth watching on a rainy afternoon when you really have nothing else to do.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

While based on a ridiculous premise (from Edwin Davis' novel), "All of Me" is still a very funny film thanks to some genuinely funny comedy and clever performances.Steve Martin is a frustrated lawyer who is at the end of his tether when the unthinkable happens, he is forced to share his body with the soul of a late, rich and obnoxious client (Lily Tomlin). Martin's manic performance is hilarious, and along with a good supporting cast, they all put on a very likable show. There's not much more to this Carl Reiner film (one of a few he teamed up with Steve Martin to do), but the laughs should certainly be enough. Also starred Victoria Tennant.Tuesday, January 5, 1993 - Video
