this movie be far good than the original the jerk . i would highly recommend it to anyone who like quirky humor . we have incorporate almost a many line from this movie into our daytime discourse a we have from monty python . the card game with the hobo and then with mr. suicide . the scene at the dinner table and his distaste for turtle soup . the original the jerk be too choreographed an stag . while i like steve martin and he seem like he be try to hard . the jerk too be a spoof and will be enjoy by anyone . the jerk too be family friendly unlike the original the jerk .
