				"The only time we doctors 
				should accept death is when it's caused by 
				our own 
				incompetence!" – Dr. Hfuhruhurr 
				Why watch this? 
				This is Steve Martin at the pinnacle of his "wild and crazy" era. 
				Plot Summary: 
				World-renowned brain surgeon, Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr, has his 
				life takes a bizarre turn after marrying a conniving femme 
				fatale whose life he saved. Driven to distraction by his wife's 
				antics, he falls in love with the disembodied, telepathic brain 
				of another woman, Anne Uumellmahaye, stored in a jar at a Vienna 
				laboratory. Amidst a series of murders in the city, the doctor 
				finds himself entangled in a comedic search for a body for his 
				new jar-enclosed sweetheart. Dad's Preview: 
				As a Martin fan, I instantly loved this off-the-wall comedy. You'll have to suspend 
				all 
				logic and believability, which is really the point. The 
				collaboration of director Reiner and comedian Martin proves to 
				be a 
				comedic gold mine. The film, with all its absurdity, is 
				hilarious. And remember: don't drink and drive in Austria. 
				Their drunk driving test is impossible!
