Wolff Movie Index

Jerk, The (remake)(1987(?))

Wolff rating: MOSTLY HARMLESS

Plot summary: Rags to riches to rags for one of the most irritating human beings on Earth.

Biased, pithy comments: Why was this movie remade? Martin destroys an already stupid role, yet goes through the whole thing determined lacklusterness; it's like an episode of Saturday Night Live gone on too long and too slow. Skip it; watch Jerry Lewis or (better yet) just skip it and do something else like clean your toenails.

How many times I have seen it: x1

Starring: Steve Martin, Bernadette Peters
