RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
SnoopyStyle Roger Cobb (Steve Martin) is a struggling musician and the bottom rung lawyer in his firm. One day he's called in to change the will of dying wealthy Edwina Cutwater (Lily Tomlin). She is transferring her soul and her wealth into the stablehand's daughter (Victoria Tennant). Only once her soul is transferred into the magic bowl, it falls on Roger's head and her soul is stuck in Roger's right half.Carl Reiner really lucked out to have Steve Martin inject his physical talents into this body sharing slapstick. However this could still have been a one-joke wonder. It's Lily Tomlin that gives it the chemistry the film needed to provide heart for the story.
namashi_1 'All of Me' is a genuinely funny film, but it's Steve Martin who stands out with a Magnificent Performance. Martin, a genius, delivers one of his very best performances in here!'All of Me' Synopsis: A dying millionaire has her soul transferred into a younger, willing woman. But something goes wrong, and she finds herself in her lawyer's body - together with the lawyer.'All of Me' is genuinely funny & well-written. Like it's catchy story-line, this classic comedy is interesting & engaging. Screenplay by Phil Alden Robinson & Henry O, is quite funny. Carl Reiner's Direction is decent. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design, are functional.Performance-Wise: Martin stands out, literally! He delivers such a Magnificent Performance! Lily Tomlin is wonderful & compliments Martin very well. Victoria Tennant is first-rate. Richard Libertini is fantastic. Madolyn Smith Osborne & Dana Elcar are good. Jason Bernard is passable. On the whole, 'All of Me' is a winner.
MARIO GAUCI Unlikely, patchy but oddly dense comic-romantic fantasy: Lily Tomlin is a dying millionaires who appoints a shaman to transfer her soul into the body of a younger woman (Victoria Tennant); Steve Martin (who would eventually marry Tennant in real life) is the lawyer put in charge by his firm of Tomlin's estate. The two do not see eye to eye, however, and are then appropriately horrified to discover that, by mistake, Martin's body is made the ultimate vessel of the woman's soul!; this turn-of-events (much abused over the years) essentially constitutes the film's comedy element, with Martin having a hard time controlling the feminine instincts within him (most embarrassing when manifesting themselves inside a court-room during an all-important case). That said, the real coup here is the unexpected tenderness displayed in the blossoming 'relationship' between Martin and Tomlin – as each gradually comes to learn of the other's true decent nature; the happy solution to this dilemma, then, is made possible by having Tennant revealed as a schemer…so that our heroes contrive to have the deceased's soul inhabit her body forever! All in all, an underrated film which is justly regarded by connoisseurs among Martin's best-ever showcases.
edwagreen You know that something is inherently wrong here when the best part of the film comes at the very end, when the credits are rolling on screen and Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin are dancing away as they play and sing All of Me.The plot is ridiculous. Wealthy but ailing Tomlin is forever dying and does just that at her lawyer's office. She had some Indian guru in a plot to bring her sole to her stable hand's daughter, aptly played by Victoria Tennant. Tennant is supposedly a sweet young lady but turns the table on everyone when she turns utterly vicious and has no intentions of assuming Tomlin in her. Accidentally, Tomlin lands in the body of lawyer-musician Martin. Martin walks around like Richard III and talks like both a man and woman.There are some funny scenes, especially the court one. The ending seems to come quickly and is ridiculous just as most of the picture is.
