All of Me (1984)
5/10
Dire unoriginal tripe that only a mother could love...

So Steve Martin is funny? Not in this film he isn't. Nobody is funny in this except the dog (the sole reason I gave this 5 stars instead of 3). It just lacks any kind of entertaining value, it is an utter cliché from the first opening sequence (great guitar solo Steve! I'm kidding...). It doesn't even seem to be making a joke about being a cliché, it is just awful. I fell asleep 3 (three) times trying to watch this film and in the end I just gave up because it was going nowhere fast. Avoid this hiccup in Steve Martin's career like the plague that it is. You get the impression that nobody knew what they were doing while making this as the direction doesn't seem to have any idea of where it is going or any sense of the viewer at all. It just bumbles along, minding its own business until it happens to stumble (umble umble) into a plot point. And WHAT A PLOT! This film should never have been made, it adds nothing to cinema history apart from a stain on the carpet.
