URGH! This is the full-screen version, i.e. it's cropped! Maybe I missed this but I don't see it anywhere in the description! These movies are both awesome but now I have to buy them again.

This great double feature DVD is a must have for fans of Steve Martin. Steve Martin in my honest opinion is one of the funniest comedians ever and one of the best original cast members of SNL, his older films were obviously the best and these two present some of his best work. If only some of his more recent stuff was as good as these films, but unfortunately they aren't.

In My Blue Heaven, Steve Martin plays a gangster named Vinnie who carries on his dodgy deals even when he's taken into the witness protection program. These shenanigans cause Vinnie to run afoul of the local authorities, which makes life difficult for the uptight and nerdy FBI agent (Rick Moranis) assigned to protect him. Soon the agent is struggling to keep Vinnie out of the clutches of a tough-as-nails assistant D.A. (Joan Cusack) who wants to see him behind bars. You can't help but like this guy! Watch as he tries to ditch Rick's character in the airport. There are many familiar faces in the cast and a happy ending to boot. Great stuff and funny as hell!.

In The Man With Two Brains, Martin plays Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr (a name that's impossible to pronounce) who excels as a brain surgeon and who also falls in love with a dis-membered brain in a jar, and Kathleen Turner was perfect as the heartless gold-digger wife role, she was just as funny too. The Man With Two Brains was an excellent sci/fi comedy film, it deserves to be up there with Airplane! and The Naked Gun in the best 'stupid-funny' films of all time. There's this hilarious scene where he's talking to a picture of his dead wife trying to ask her permission if he could marry the attractive gold digger (Kathleen Turner) and asks for a sign from god or something if he's doing the right thing, then all of a sudden lightning strikes and there's this weird spooky voice, so he decides to keep the picture in the closet, HILARIOUS STUFF! Steve Martin's comic timing was perfect and had me laughing out loud several times. These two films were alot of fun and I highly recommend these brilliant comedies especially if your a Steve Martin fan, enjoy!.

My experience was great. The movies were packed properly and I received them on time. I would definitely buy here again.

These two movies are Steve Martin classics created by what used to be a comic genius prior to selling out and doing crap flicks like "Father of the Bride," "Cheaper by the Dozen" and quite possibly the worst movie of all time, "The Pink Panther." The quality was superior and price was a bargain.

The man with two brains

Twice as boring

Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr (Steve Martin) has a problem choosing between brain waves, Anne Uumellmahaye (Sissy Spacek), and "Body Heat", Dolores Benedict (Kathleen Turner). The whole premise is can love be found in a bottle.

I thought `The jerk' was bad until I saw this movie, both mysteriously directed by Carl Reiner. All he does is make faces with no real acting or thought behind them. A few faces are o.k. but over an over of watching grins and grimaces can get monotonous. I almost stopped watching Steve martin that is capable of making good movies like "Housesitter" (1992) with Goldie Hawn.

My Blue Heaven

"Take my keys, take my gun, take me"

I am not going to go in to details, of the movie "My Blue Heaven"; however the story line is about Vinni, (Martin), as a New York City gangster enrolled in the witness protection program. He is sent to a seemingly innocent town, Fryberg. A FBI agent (Rick Moranis) is assigned to look after him. The agent is a recent ex-husband due to his overly systematic behavior.

While attempting to keep Vinni out of trouble the agent meets an interesting district attorney (Joan Cussak). She also is an ex with two kids. Vinni seizes the opportunity to help the agent and the attorney gets to know each other better and in the process helps Barney the agent loosen up a bit. On the side he seizes much more with the help of his (old) new friends. Will anything come of the agent/attorney relation ship? Will Vinni find a home or is he destined for incarceration?

See Steve Martin a little more down to earth as n architect in "Housesitter" (1992).

I love a good comedy & Steve Martin has made some really funny movies. These are great movies if you like to laugh.

My Blue Heaven is a classic bit of comedy acted to perfection by Steve Martin. As with each of his movies he is funny throughout. And watching a good movie is a lot of fun, hey that's my philosophy, I should write that down.

Even though "The Man With Two Brains" isn't as good as "My Blue Heaven", Steve Martin fans can't go wrog with this DVD -- especially for the price!
