Steve! (Martin): A Documentary in 2 Pieces

It’s heartwarming and even moving to see where Steve Martin is today, comfortable with his emotions enough to cry when reading the “Planes, Trains, & Automobiles” script, and obviously enriched by being a father late in life.

...intimate portrait of a comedy legend.

Following Martin slavishly as he rehearses with Martin Short, creates a cartoon memoir, or bikes around LA reminiscing, the film mistakes access for interest.

Watching his 30-year-old rubber limbs flail across the stage is hilarious, but seeing him tear up over John Candy’s Planes, Trains And Automobiles performance half a century later is unexpectedly touching.

...from star to failure – and back again.

....is a delightful retrospective for fans, and may be mind-blowing for viewers who only know him from 'Only Murders in the Building'.
