the out of towner be one of the good comedy i have see . with a stellar ( but not oscar worthy ) cast and the out of towner be a classic to me . act in term of martin and hawn ( they play a stress out and overdue married couple who kid have be send to college ) be good and but not spectacular . martin be talented and ( a he show here ) and but he can not carry a film by himself and which be where john cleese come in . cleese be a uptight and cross dress hotel manager with a presence that take the movie to the next level . this be a movie that be help by it directing and writing and a many of the funny moment ( which be clever and well think out ) should be credit to the writer more so than the star . this and bring down the house be the best steve martin film i have see since plane and train and and automobile .
