A modern telling of Cyrano De Bergerac stars Steve Martin as a man with an incredibly long nose who writes romantic letters and speeches for the unbelievably uncreative and dopey Rick Rossovich to the beautiful and intelligent Daryl Hannah. Martin soon realizes that he's in love with her. The funny jokes alone makes "Roxanne" worth watching; Steve Martin is as good as he's ever been!
