Film #43: All Of Me (1984)


Directed by: Carl Reiner


Starring: Steve Martin, Lily Tomlin


I haven't put up any reviews for a few days now because I have been away from the computer for one reason or another. So, I watched this film a few days ago but it's still pretty fresh in my mind.

It's about Roger Cob (Martin), a lawyer who is assigned to take care of Edwina Cutwater's will. However, Cutwater tells him that her assets will be going to herself as she will have her soul implanted into someone else's body. Cob thinks that this is crazy and leaves just before Edwina dies. A swami takes her soul and places it into a bowl but just as he is about to put it into another woman, the bowl falls out of the window and hits Cob, thus putting Edwina's soul into Cob's body.

Cob is now desperate to get rid of Edwina and the pair make a hilarious odd couple.

It's alright and has some pretty funny parts in it but is not brilliant by all means.

Steve Martin plays a great part as always and so do most of the supporting cast.
