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.

Mr-Fusion I swear, Steve Martin did some of his best work with Carl Reiner. "The Man with Two Brains" is a winning mix of high and lowbrow humor, with much of the movie listing toward the absurd (like the star making out with a jarred brain, for example). Kathleen Turner offers up her sultry image for gags, while ... no, scratch that - everyone here does (David Warner included). As Steve Martin movies go, this is certainly one of my favorites, with its laundry list of one-liners and endearing sense of humor. And as if that's not enough, when we find out who the Elevator Killer is, it's a doozy. I laughed harder at some of the jokes than I have in a long while. 8.5/10

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.

mysterio_cluez The man with two brains isn't a great comedy. Indeed it does make you laugh at times, is definitely a step up from the spoofs of these days, and is extremely quirky, with some strange scenes such as Steve Martin's character licking his palms so he is able to stick to the side of the building and Merv Griffiths being an "elvator killer" who injects people with window cleaner. But quirky is sometimes a good thing. Although this typical weird 80s comedy is strange it is entertaining. Whether or not it's genius or a completely shite movie is beyond my level of thinking. You can decide for yourself. Fans of such films as "Dr Detroit" or "neighbours", i recommend it to you. 6/10
