When I first saw Roxanne if felt it was charming. Problem is ... it hasn't stood up well over time. Many of Steve Martin's scenes look extremely convoluted and rehearsed. The fire chief is really smart and has this big nose ... so he can't find the love of his life. The premise was this new guy that every girl in town thinks is a Greek god can't relate to women and needs someone to tell him what to say. He gets panic attacks if he tries to talk to them. Yet he's able to talk to with no problem with the bar-girl as if all of his problems are totally forgotten. Some of the dialog is extremely silly and not believable. The best scene was when Steve figures out 20 ways of saying someone has a big nose. The fire department was filled with a bunch of seriously screwed up guys that were more of a threat to start a fire than put one out. Still ... I enjoyed watching it ... but it's not Steve Martins' best work.
