Film #10 (Letter J) - The Jerk (1979)
The Jerk is definitely a Steve Martin film. He absolutely owns his role, he is simply hilarious.
Look, it's not a masterpiece of comedy or anything, but most of the sequences were very funny and I was thoroughly entertained the whole way through. And I guess that's the most important thing at the end of the day (particularly for a film like this).
Some say Fronkensteen's monster is still a crippling alcoholic to this day...
