Martin vaults to the top of the class with his brazen, precise performance. This one goes in the time capsule.
All of Me
They say that behind every great man there's a woman. But in this case it's ridiculous.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Patently ridiculous, but acceptable because of the charm of the characters.
Martin is his usual combination of flat cynicism and crazed childishness, indulging in some inspired Jerry Lewis-like clowning with his arms and legs hopelessly out of synch.
It scores a lot of points by speculating on the ways in which a man and a woman could learn to coexist in such close quarters. Against all the odds, a certain tenderness and sweetness develops by the end of the film.
Mr. Martin's astonishing performance is the film's most conspicuous asset, but the entire cast is good.
