• Masterpiece!
  I am not a huge Steve Martin fan, but this film stands alone as his best work. He wrote the screenplay, and then delivers his best acting job by ten miles above any other of his other films. It is quite simply a masterpiece. It is hilarious, witty, romantic, wonderfully filmed, perfectly cast and excellently directed! If you've seen any other Steve Martin movie and thought they were just too stupid to waste your time on, don't lump this film in with those. It stands alone and well above.

  This is a Steve Martin remake of the classic Cyrano. And in my opinion one of his best efforts. (right next to "My Blue Heaven". Of course i bought it.

  Steve Martin is C.D. Bales, a perfect catch for any woman except for one drawback. He has a huge nose. Everyone is hypnotized by it. No one can ignore it. The movie is a take-off on the play, Cyrano de Bergerac. C.D. works for the fire department and falls for Roxanne, an astronomy student. Because of his nose, he courts her through a friend. Romance and humor intertwine. The scene in which Martin enumerates insults about his nose is brilliant.
