Movie Info

On her deathbed, mean-spirited millionairess Lily Tomlin has her will amended so that her soul will pass into the body of young, healthy Victoria Tennant. Thanks to a mix-up in transmutation, Tomlin winds up instead trapped in the body of upright (and uptight) attorney Steve Martin. The plot involves the fragility of male-female relationships, the importance of making commitments, and the antics of goofy guru Richard Libertini. As ridiculous as it sounds, All of Me is completely credible, thanks

Martin vaults to the top of the class with his brazen, precise performance. This one goes in the time capsule.

Patently ridiculous, but acceptable because of the charm of the characters.

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.

Martin has become a superb physical comic, and Tomlin brings some unexpected warmth to a cruelly written part. A manic fuzziness takes over in the last reel and spoils some of the pleasure, but it's still a sympathetic effort.

All in all, an unusually amiable and well-made comedy...

Carl Reiner's likeable and funny comedy about mind and body switching features a great performance from Steve Martin in one of his best roles.

A lewd, loveable comedy for teens and up.

...one could not hope for more humor than from this unassuming title.

...a delightful fantasy comedy, at times laugh-out-loud uproarious.

Martin does some of his best acting in this film and steals the movie from Tomlin, whose character is, at best, a one-note creation.

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.

Steve Martin delivers a marvelous, physically challenging performance in this often hilarious comedy.

Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin showcase their comic zest.

"All of me" is very funny, but not too outlandish, risque (at times) but not disgusting. A quality comedy with a heart.

Steve Martin's teamed with Lily Tomlin in this enjoyable Carl Reiner comedy about a lawyer given a chance to prove his meddle by settling the affairs of a dying and bitter heiress. Altho Tomlin's not given much to work with she does okay with what she gets, and then here is perhaps Martin's finest performance in film.
