Title: Another Great Reiner-Martin Collaboration
Review: Carl Reiner and Steve Martin return to collaborate on this off-the-wall 1984 comedy about the conflicts with gender roles. As with many of their other collaborations, this film is a cleverly crafted comedy to be enjoyed by all.Steve Martin plays an attorney who falls victim to a bitter and crippled woman's (Lilly Tomlin) failed attempt to transfer her soul into that of a youner one (Victoria Tenant)who's even more sinister. Tomlin and Martin's characters try to find the guru who made this happen but they're hampered by a now reluctant Victoria Tenant who wants to keep Tomlin's vast wealth for herself. During their search, Martin and Tomlin must deal with the foreign habits and dispositions peculiar to their sexes.This is a great comedy about gender roles and what might be the causes to the battle between the sexes. A film not to be missed.
