   Is 'the jerk' a good movie?

   • Crude, crass, and oh so quotable, The Jerk is nothing short of an all-out comedic showcase for Steve Martin. The verbal and conceptual gags... belong wholly to Martin's own brand of goofiness, and some of them are pretty funny. Content collapsed.

   Was 'the jerk' a funny movie?

   • And so when I say that “The Jerk,” the first major film starring Steve Martin, was not an amusing comedy, I should probably also report that a lot of the people who went to the sneak preview laughed all the way through it. (Others booed—but there you are.) I can report, however, why I didn’t find “The Jerk” very funny.

   Is 'the jerk' a movie of funny hats?

   • You may have guessed by now that I prefer the Funny Logic approach, and that “The Jerk” is almost entirely a movie of Funny Hats. An example, from the film’s opening premise: Steve Martin has been raised as a member of a family of poor black Southern sharecroppers, and, although he is white, it has never occurred to him that he might be adopted.
