rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author whyterabbit79 - I love this movie - my Dad and I watched it a million times when I was a kid. I bought the 26th anniversary DVD as soon as I realized it existed. The opening scene shows us Steve Martin as a dirty, haggard bum. He tells us “I am not a bum –...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - Some movies are pretty random. In many cases, this is a bad thing. In the case of The Jerk, not so much. It’s more like the movie follows a meandering path leading the main character back where he started. Such is the story of Navin R. Johnson,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author starcollector - Introduction: Steve Martin's movie debut was a lot like his early stage act: wild, unpredictable and frequently funny! Plot Overview: The film opens as Steve Martin is drunk, unshaven and sitting on the street amongst homeless men...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Cassady - The first comedy feature styled as a vehicle for Steve Martin was a blockbuster hit at the time. Martin was at the peak of his fame as the first "rock-star stand-up comic," as I've heard someone describe him, a funnyman who could literally fill stadiums...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mtbat - The Jerk starring Steve Martin, Bernadette Peters, Jamie Lee Curtis amongst others is one of the funniest, silliest, stupidest movies I have ever seen. This is one of the few movies that has scenes that made me laugh so hard I cried and...

mvie mu-1011004: Steve Martin's Funniest Role

Tue, 3 Jul 2001 21:56:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mengladys - Steve Martin plays the irrepressible Navin Johnson. He was raised by a black family down south. There is a scene where Navin is singing with his all black family and sadly was the only one who couldn't clap on the beat.

On Navin's birthday,...

mvie mu-1011004: Which Quote Do I Use?

Mon, 2 Jul 2001 15:56:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LRGuis - This truly comical classic of the 70's (just barely: 1979) still brings tears to my eyes. Good tears, of course. The kind that come as a result of belly-aching laughter and constant smiling. There aren't many movies that deliver this relatively...

Wed, 20 Dec 2000 16:29:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author energy81 - A jerk, as defined by Webster’s Dictionary©, exempting all definitions that deal with movement or chicken seasoning (as there are many) is “a stupid, foolish, or unconventional person”. (Note: This dictionary is circa 1981 as the only copy I have...

mvie mu-1011004: Huh.... my story?

Mon, 3 Jul 2000 08:48:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Joti - This is one of my all time favourite movies, made back in the late seventies when Steve Martin was the King of Stupid (in the nicest possible way).

The plot is based on him being raised by a black family only to be told on his 18th birthday that he...

mvie mu-1011004: The Jerk

Sat, 22 Apr 2000 22:19:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jeffacka - I have seen this movie several times. For years The Jerk has been my favorite movie. Anyone should be able to see the humor in this hilarious picture.

Steve Martin was absolutely fantastic. No other person could have played the part of Navin...
