Its hard to say that one Steve Martin movie is better than his others - they are all great, especially 'My Blue Heaven'. Steve also did a great job in Sgt Bilko and The Pink Panther.

Wrong! It's the worst!
Margo_Arrowsmith says:
The Man With Two Brains is better
I loved Pennies from Heaven, which isn't a comedy

Well, it isn't even the best Steve Martin movie, but I did enjoy it. Not the worst either.

Its good, but not his best. The Man With Two Brains is a little known movie that had me rolling in the isles.
But no, it isn't the worst either. Has Steve Martin ever done anything that isn't good? I loved Pennies from Heaven!

Love the lens but I can't stand the movie. Father of the Bride is my Steve Martin favorite.
