A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Roger Cobb (Steve Martin) is a struggling musician and the bottom rung lawyer in his firm. One day he's called in to change the will of dying wealthy Edwina Cutwater (Lily Tomlin). She is transferring her soul and her wealth into the stablehand's daughter (Victoria Tennant). Only once her soul is transferred into the magic bowl, it falls on Roger's head and her soul is stuck in Roger's right half.Carl Reiner really lucked out to have Steve Martin inject his physical talents into this body sharing slapstick. However this could still have been a one-joke wonder. It's Lily Tomlin that gives it the chemistry the film needed to provide heart for the story.

"He's in conference with Miss Cutwater, also with her doctor, her nurse, Mr Mifflin, an English girl with no bra and a Hindu holding a bedpan on a stick. I don't think you should go in there." And with that little speech from receptionist Selma Diamond, All of Me finally gets going. The plot, somewhat reminiscent of I Married a Witch, sees friendless, dying millionairess Lily Tomlin enlisting a Swami with a poor grasp of English to transfer her soul to a sparky young blonde (Victoria Tennant). As you might imagine, the plan gets botched, and Tomlin's griping newly-dead becomes housed in the body of unhappy lawyer Steve Martin - whose soul is in there as well.The first 20 minutes are pretty dry, but once Diamond starts drolly lecturing, Dana Elcar begins two-facedly badmouthing his wealthiest client and Martin takes to bickering with 'himself', it settles into a fun - if unexceptional - groove. There's one absolute gem of a sequence in a courtroom, which is set-up with panache and expert timing and builds to a dizzyingly absurd climax. The rest of the film skirts by on the talents of Martin - very good and indulging his fondness for outlandish physical comedy - and Tomlin, with her Kate Hepburn-ish delivery. I rather like Tennant as a romantic lead, too, and her line: "I love it when you talk like a beer commercial."

A millionaire (Lily Tomlin) finds herself close to death. So what do you do when you are dying? Move your soul to a younger body in order to live on. But, its not that simple. Things go wrong, and she ends up in her lawyers body (played none other than Steve Martin, who has rarely failed to do a bad job). This is where the fun starts. Not only is she in his body, but she has to deal with him too. They both are in control of his body (which is a constant battle). This movie is a riot, it really is. Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin are perfect for the role, and their chemistry is some of the best I've seen. Great comedy, romance, and adventure (even if it isn't in that category per se). Highly recommended to anyone who is a fan of the cast, or well made comedy/romance. I rate this 7/10. Rated PG, my rating: PG-13 for some crude/sexual material and language.

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/
