I think that this movie is one of the best that Steve Martin ever starred in. Some other great ones were Roxanne, Parenthood, Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Father of the Bride. Steve Martin is a wonderfully funny and charming actor and his movies almost always make me smile. I was lucky enough to catch The Jerk on Comedy Central today while I took a break from working on book relocation taking place in our house. I just love how ridiculous the movie is. While the guy tries to kill Navin with the high powered gun Navin is freaking out because he thinks the guy is after the cans, “He hates these cans!” So classic.
