Steve Martin stars in this slight-plotted but uproarious comedy as a filthy rich brain surgeon who is tricked into marring an evil, money-hungry but absolutely beautiful woman, played by Kathleen Turner. One day, when he's in a colleague's laboratory, he notices something; he is able to telepathically talk to a brain that is kept alive through a special liquid. Martin begins talking to it and he eventually falls in love. A goofy Martin flick; a must see for his fans.
