The Man with Two Brains

Steve Martin is a world famous surgeon. He invented screw top, zip lock brain surgery. Trust him.

A gleefully absurd 1980s comedy that mines romantic chaos and sci-fi weirdness for laughs, built on Steve Martin's deadpan charm and the film's commitment to ridiculous premises.

A brain surgeon marries a femme fatale, causing his life to turn upside down. Things go more awry when he falls in love with a talking brain.
