A good movie

Since I kept hearing some interesting things about this flick (for example, it was apparently one of Stanley Kubrick's favorite movies), I was really curious about the damned thing and I was quite eager to check it out. First of all, by now, I have seen many movies starring Steve Martin (almost 30 features) but, to be honest, most of them turned out be actually rather worthless. However, the guy still made a few classics during his career and this flick was apparently one of them . Well, eventually, after I finally watched this movie, I turned out to be a decent watch but I canโ€™t say I was really blown away by the whole thing though. I mean, I thought it was a good movie and there were definitely some funny scenes here and there but still I can't say it was really hilarious. I guess, it all depends if you like absurd humor or not. For example, according to Roger Ebert, the whole thing was not funny at all. Anyway, to conclude, even though it didnโ€™t turn out to be one of my favorite movies, ย it is still a classic and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Steve Martin's work.
