This is one of my all-time favorite childhood comedy films, along with Airplane! and Blazing Saddles. Steve Martin was a big deal for me as a kid. My brother had at least one of his comedy albums, and man I had that thing memorized. So much so that when there was an audition for the talent show at my elementary school I got up and did whole chunks of Martin’s standup. Can you imagine this? I was probably nine years old. I did NOT get to be in the show. However seeing my homeroom teacher in tears with laughter was all the reward I needed. Anyhow, yeah… The Jerk. I still love it. You should too.
Available on Blu-ray from Shout Factory.
