Review of All of Me

All of Me (1984)
6/10
With Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin it just should have been funnier.

I am rather surprised that this one came out in 1984, I was thinking it was a 87 or 88 release. So a bit older than I was thinking. I thought this one was okay when I was a kid. It had its moments as it must have considering the two great comedic actors within it. Still, it was also a bit of a mess too, as there more than a couple of scenes of extreme awkwardness and the fact that Lily Tomlin is reduced to mainly a voice over with a few appearances in a mirror or two. The film is about a woman that is very sickly and she is very close to passing on. She has a plan though, as she is going to use a man of mysticism to transfer her soul into that of a healthy and sexy young lady so that she may live out her days happily and healthy for the first time ever. However, things do not go as planned as a small accident causes half her soul to be trapped within the body of an attorney played by Steve Martin. So you get a lot of scenes of him acting as if he is being controlled and at times as if he is female. It has some funny moments though and overall it is somewhat good, just not as good as one would expect when seeing both of this two comedy performers are within it.
