Review

 

That wild and crazy guy, Steve Martin, makes his acting debut in this wild and crazy comedy hit The Jerk. Steve portrays Navin Johnson, adopted son of a poor black sharecropper family, whose crazy inventions lead him from rags to riches and right back to rags. Along the way, he's smitten with a lady motorcycle racer, survives a series of screwball attacks by a deranged killer, becomes a millionaire by inventing the "opti-grab" handle for eyeglasses - and shows why he's the hottest comic performer in America today.

This is the film that put Steve Martin on the map of Comedy. Steve plays Navin Johnson, an adopted son of a poor black family. On his birthday he decides that he needs to see the world and get out to find out what his "special purpose" is, I won't give anything away but he certainly does! On his travels, he comes across a lady motorcycle circus rider, I use the term lady loosely!! Dodges his way from a nutcase with a shotgun, attracts a scruffy dog and meets the love of his life. A simple act of helpfulness makes him a millionaire by his chance invention of the "opti-grab" handle for glasses, right through to him losing it all in a bizarre twist of fate. So many classic one liners, and gags galore, you will laugh your way right through this film, so make sure you don't leave the room!
