Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

John Brooks In one phrase of a couple of words, that's the best way I could find to nail down what this film was.If you've seen Steve Martin at all, not necessarily in films he's part of the writing crew but if you've seen him, you'll know his presence always brings about an element of utter randomness at times bordering on clownish performances and flat-out surrealism. So you're warned when you know he both stars and co-wrote this one. It's one of those films that clearly separate the viewing public in two: those who will be sensitive to it, and those who won't understand how this was ever released and why people have given it any consideration.If you know Martin as a writer now, you'll understand exactly what this is if you refer back to my title. His stories always contain an outrageously passionate love story at the center of it bordering on (or fully in) madness, set in remote places/with random strange things occurring consistently.This one is just about good enough to make you laugh, enjoy the story and concept, and have a genuinely good time.6.5/10

AsifZamir The Man with 2 Brains is a science fiction comedy produced in 1983 starring Steve Martin as Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr, a brain surgeon who saves lives with his "cranial screw-top" type of brain surgery. One of the victims he saves is Dolores Benedict (Kathleen Turner), who gets run over by a vehicle in her attempt to escape from her previous husband's coronary which is fatal and caused by Dolores. Dolores is a conniving, scheming woman whom Hfuhruhurr unknowingly falls in love with and marries. On their honeymoon as well as business trip to Vienna, Hfuhruhurr refuses to consummate the marriage and a strange twist happens in the movie. Hfuhruhur runs across Dr. Alfred Necessiter played by David Warner, who is a mad scientist that has discovered how to preserve live brains in jars. It is here that Hfuhruhur meets Annie, a woman's brains that have been kept alive and he falls in love with. The only problem is he now needs to find a body for Annie and fate provides him an opportunity. There has been a series of elevator murders, and his wife gets murdered by the elevator killer so opportunity arises to transplant Annie's brains into his wife's corpse.Cast includes Martin, Turner, Warner, Paul Benedict as the butler of Dr. Necessiter, George Furth as Timon and Peter Hobbs as Dr. Brandon. This sci-fi is just too funny and if you're in for a good laugh with a bit of a twist, then The Man with 2 Brains is for you.

FilmBuff1994 The Man With Two Brains is a great movie with a good storyline,cast,characters and some very funny scenes that keep you watching.Its a bit different from the usual films you see Steve Martin in if your a fan,like me,its like a romantic horror comedy.Steve Martin did a terrific job both writing and acting in the movie and Dr. Hfuhruhurr is very funny,I especially like the parts where he gets mad because no one can pronounce his name,if he was talking to me now he wouldn't be happy with me,because I certainly cant.Dr.Michael Hfuhruhurr (Steve Martin) is a doctor who studies and is fascinated with brains,and he meets the love of his life,Dolores Benedict (Kathleen Turner).However,he falls in love with a brain and wants to kill his wife and put the brain in her.

Bjorn (ODDBear) In the Icelandic language there's one word that perfectly describes this film; Steypa. Most people here won't know what that means but in English it means "concrete" and doesn't apply all that well. Basically this film is one of those Steve Martin/Carl Reiner collaborations of totally whacked out comedies that don't make a lick of sense but are quite simply hilarious on occasions.How on earth can you imagine a sentence like this could make any sense in the context of a film; "Were you out on the lake today kissing your brain?". Well, here it makes perfect sense as Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr (Martin) makes the grave mistake of saving the life of the obnoxious Kathleen Turner and, worse still, marrying her. However, Michael finds true love in the form of a brain (voiced by Sissy Spacek) and contemplates ways to restore that brain in a human being. He is, after all, the world's best brain surgeon.My particular favorite here is when Martin is pulled over by the Swiss police and subjected to what has to be deemed the toughest drunk test ever. But overall "The Man With Two Brains" is chock full of crazy scenes, most quite funny while others simply leave you scratching your head.Martin was born for these kinds of roles and he's perfect here. Turner is simply stunning to look at and shows quite the flair for outrageous comedy. David Warner is solid as a crazy scientist and Re-Animator's Jeffrey Combs has a funny cameo as an orderly who's very romantic (or a big perv; you make the call).
