Diagonaldi Very well executed

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

namashi_1 'All of Me' is a genuinely funny film, but it's Steve Martin who stands out with a Magnificent Performance. Martin, a genius, delivers one of his very best performances in here!'All of Me' Synopsis: A dying millionaire has her soul transferred into a younger, willing woman. But something goes wrong, and she finds herself in her lawyer's body - together with the lawyer.'All of Me' is genuinely funny & well-written. Like it's catchy story-line, this classic comedy is interesting & engaging. Screenplay by Phil Alden Robinson & Henry O, is quite funny. Carl Reiner's Direction is decent. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design, are functional.Performance-Wise: Martin stands out, literally! He delivers such a Magnificent Performance! Lily Tomlin is wonderful & compliments Martin very well. Victoria Tennant is first-rate. Richard Libertini is fantastic. Madolyn Smith Osborne & Dana Elcar are good. Jason Bernard is passable. On the whole, 'All of Me' is a winner.

preppy-3 Rich and dying Edwina Cutwater (Lily Tomlin) is arranging to have her soul transferred into the body of a young beautiful woman (Victoria Tennant) just after she dies. Instead it gets sent to the body of stuffy lawyer Roger Cobb (Steve Martin) and both of them fight to gain control.This is not a great movie by any means. It's really not all that funny; it's flatly directed by Carl Reiner; Tennant is terrible at comedy; there's some highly unlikely situations (especially at the end) and I didn't buy what happened to the main villain at the climax for one second. Still, Martin and Tomlin make this worth seeing. Tomlin technically isn't in it that much. After she dies (early on in the film) you only see her as a reflection whenever Martin looks in a mirror or glass surface. It's a credit to her acting that you think of her even when she's not on screen. Martin had a VERY difficult role. He had to show male AND female characteristics in the same body at the same time. It's tricky but he manages to pull it off and he's actually pretty hysterical. Even people who hate this movie agree his performance is just incredible. There's a courtroom sequence at the end where he's just magnificent. The fact that he wasn't even nominated for an Academy Award for this is a crime (although he DID win a Golden Globe). Don't miss the dance sequence during the closing credits. So, all in all, the movie has some great moments but doesn't really pull together. Worth seeing for just Matin and Tomlin. I truthfully can only give this a 6.

cosmorados Edwina Cutwater (Lily Tomlin) is an evil sick millionaire who has hired Roger Cobb's (Steve martin) legal firm to take care of her affairs as she prepares to travel by the ancient power of a mystic into the body of a woman who has volunteered to be the host for Edwina's soul when she dies. Still with us so far? Good, because it all goes horribly wrong as Edwina's soul is bounced into the cut-throat lawyer Cobb. Fortunately for Cobb she only inhabits half of his body meaning that he is him on one side and her on the other, with both of them able to hear each other's thoughts.In this completely forgotten gem of a comedy Steve Martin gives the most physical performance of his career as he has to adequately portray a man whose body is split into two people, and the great thing is, that at no point does the illusion wear off. Steve performs both roles superbly well and there are a ton of good lines in this film that the tiny quote section here doesn't do justice to (My personal favourite "What Century is this?" Lily Tomlin is equally good as the soul of Edwina and there combined strength's as comedy performers are used well.As you can tell from my above comments the script has a ton of great lines and there is a great piece of comedy in every scene, from the beginning intro looking at Roger's life as a lawyer to his first scene with Victoria Tennant when she places his hand on her while analysing him, to the great courtroom confrontation. The ending at the party is magnificent and rounds off the piece more than satisfactorily.The only downside to this entire film is that the direction is a bit TV movie-ish as a lot of films looked before camera's started working again from Ghostbusters onwards (Why do films in the early eighties look like this? Answers please?) That aside it is a very good comedy film that truly leaves you wanting to buy a vest! Nuff said!

weezeralfalfa The theme of this screwball comedy is basically similar to that in the escapist car chase comedy "Thelma and Louise". We have a single woman this time, instead of a duo, who has missed out on nearly all the fun things in life, despite being rich in money. Thus, she hires a transcendentalist, while she lays dying, to transfer her soul into the body of a young beautiful healthy woman, with the hope of living a fun fulfilling life the second time around. Unfortunately, this transfer process goes wrong and she ends up dominating one side of Steve Martin's brain. You can imagine the comedic potential of this situation, which at times Martin does a great job exploiting.In the case of "Thelma and Louise", we have a potentially much more realistic situation, with the bored women getting their kicks over a few days before disappearing over a cliff. In the present film, the comedic potential is greater, with Lily Tomlin's character having fun making Martin look like an uncoordinated fool. After then briefly inhabiting half the brain of another man, she makes amends with Martin as she transfers into the body of his girlfriend. Seems she can dominate only one side of a man's brain, but all the brain of a woman. Actually, the film could have been a lot funnier if she had been transferred to more men with comedic potential, including Martin's law firm boss, and if she had ended up in the body of Martin's disbelieving wife instead of that of his glamorous girlfriend. The first part of the film could have been mostly dispensed with, as things didn't get interesting until the soul transfer scene. The last scene, in which Martin and Tomlin get into a crazy improvised dance and eventually end up together on the floor, was a great way to end.
