This movie is about a brain surgeon played by Steve Martin. He is world renowned and the best in his field. The only thing missing in his life is love because his wife is dead. In a strange turn of events the Dr. is driving one day and hits a beautiful woman, Kathleen Turner. She flies up into the air, over the car and lands on the road. This is a comedy, but I did not find it extremely funny. Anyway, he decides to operate on her and save her life. He falls in love and ends up marrying her. Little does he know that she caused her last husband to have a heart attack, and is only after money. The Dr. and his wife attend a conference in Austria where he meets a fellow brain researcher. This man keeps brains alive and is working on transplanting them into humans....though he's only worked on gorillas so far. Steve Martin has a strange telepathic connection with one of the brains and falls in love. Will he ever be able to have a real relationship with her/the brain? What about his wife? Will she succeed in getting his money? This movie is ok. There are some funny parts, like the Austrian doctor who lives in a condo that looks like a castle inside. It is complete with stone walls, although they are really paper thin. If you like Steve Martin you may want to watch it, but there are better ones out there like The Jerk and Roxanne.
