RE: The Jerk (1979) Is One Of Steve Martin’s Greatest Comedy Performances. With A Wild Story, Unforgettable Characters, And Endless Laughs!

A very silly story and I think that Steve was still hanging on to his SNL roots with this one because it is nonsensical and much of it is just small snippets or shorts kind of like he would have done in Saturday Night Live but with an overall story as well. While most of what happens in this story is ridiculous, it all works very well together. This movie is very dated, but I do enjoy going back to it for the really iconic scenes that if you wait a while between viewings, you'll forget that it was like that. I too love this movie.
