Kathleen Turner as Dolores Benedict
David Warner as Dr. Necessiter
Paul Benedict as Butler

Plot:
It's comedy that's out of its mind (and the drunk-driving test is really, really hard!). Director Carl Reiner and star Steve Martin put their manic brains together in The Man with Two Brains, spoofing mad-scientist movies with a madder scientist: Dr. Hfuhruhurr (Martin), smitten with a disembodied brain he plans to implant into a curvaceous vixen (Kathleen Turner).

Extras:
Scene Access
Closed Captioned

My Thoughts:
Going into this movie I really couldn't remember if I had seen it before. It is hard to remember all the movies you seen almost 30 years ago. After getting part way through it I realized I never seen the movie before. Unfortunately I didn't care much for this one.  It may have had a laugh or two... but it was just a little too silly for my taste.

Saw this years ago, long before I had children of my own. Having gone through my own custody battle (which I won) I could certainly relate to the stress, anxiety and fear associated with a struggle such as that. It was easily the most physically and emotionally unsettling experience of my life.

Dustin Hoffman was great and deserving of his best actor Oscar. Meryl Streep was good too although I was not a fan of hers in the early part of her career as she just always struck me as weird in her roles of the 70's and early 80's. I love all her recent however and shown to just keep getting better with age.

A not so good conclusion to a good show. This last season has a good premise, but ten episodes was too much for it. They should have done a five episode story arc like in the third season and I think it would have been much better. Also I thought that Jack and Gwen became more and more out of character as this season went on.
And to make it worse, it ended on a cliffhanger.
