Amazon.com essential video:
This 1984 Carl Reiner comedy is one of the best film showcases of Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin's sundry talents. Tomlin plays a sickly spinster who is given the chance to transfer her soul to the body of another woman, and thus go on living. But the magic man who is supposed to make this happen goofs up and locks her spirit inside a bachelor lawyer (Martin)--or, more accurately, within the right half of the poor fellow's body. Suddenly, the swinging man-about-town is literally at odds with himself, unable to make a self-determining decision without a huge internal struggle. Martin's physical comedy, always remarkable, is absolutely inspired this time around, as he convincingly portrays a man split down the middle between opposing sensibilities. This is also one of the best films by Reiner, a filmmaker whose novel ideas are sometimes more striking than their execution. --Tom Keogh

I love this movie! An older film with Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin, but very enjoyable. A woman dies and leaves her soul to a woman who turns out to be a fake..so Steve has to find a way to cope with Lily getting put into him and getting her in the body of the deceitfil woman.
Rating: - great idea and good execution.
The theme of this comedy is basically similar to that in the escapist car chase comedy "Thelma and Louise". We have a single women this time, instead of a duo, who has missed out on nearly all the fun things in life, despite being rich in money. Thus, she hires a transcendentalist, while she lays dying, to transfer her soul into the body of a young healthy beautiful woman who hopefully will experience many of the joys she missed. Unfortunately, the soul transfer process goes wrong and she ends ... Read More
Rating:  - Love Lily Tomlin, but not this time.
I bought this after watching a biography on Steve Martin's career and this was listed as one of his great performances. I always liked Lily Tomlin and thought Steve was a good actor for some crazy parts like The Jerk. But this movie just didn't do it for me, too slapstick.
Rating:  - All of Me
Very funny dvd - about the after life. Steve Martin plays the part of a solicitor that become 1/2 possessed by the dead Lily. Very funny to watch and will have you rolling around on the floor in parts.
Rating: - Martin at His Physically Antic Peak in a Hilarious Screwball Fantasy Farce
As his recently published memoir, Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life, reminds me, Steve Martin catapulted to mainstream mega-success by bringing zeitgeist freshness onto the comedy scene. When he first transitioned to the big screen, he had quite a productive partnership going with director and fellow comic actor Carl Reiner beginning with his yuk-fest film debut, The Jerk (1979), continuing with the noir film-clip-oriented Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (1982) and the sci-fi farce The Man with Two Brains ...
