The theme of this comedy is basically similar to that in the escapist car chase comedy "Thelma and Louise". We have a single women this time, instead of a duo, who has missed out on nearly all the fun things in life, despite being rich in money. Thus, she hires a transcendentalist, while she lays dying, to transfer her soul into the body of a young healthy beautiful woman who hopefully will experience many of the joys she missed. Unfortunately, the soul transfer process goes wrong and she ends up dominating one side of Steve Martin's brain. You can imagine the comedic potential of this situation.
In the case of "Thelma and Louise", we have a potentially much more realistic situation, with the bored women getting their kicks over a few days before disappearing over a cliff. In the present film, the comedic potential is greater, with Lily Tomlin's character having fun making Martin's character look like a fool, then finally making amends as she is transferred to the body of his girlfriend.(Apparently, her soul can dominate only half a man's brain, but all of a women's brain). Actually, the film could have been a lot funnier if she had been transferred to the bodies of several more men, including Martin's law firm boss. The first part of the film could have been largely dispensed with, as things didn't get interesting until after the soul transfer process. The last scene,in which Martin and Tomlin get into a crazy improvised dance routine and eventually end up together on the floor, is also great. |

| I bought this after watching a biography on Steve Martin's career and this was listed as one of his great performances. I always liked Lily Tomlin and thought Steve was a good actor for some crazy parts like The Jerk. But this movie just didn't do it for me, too slapstick. |

| Very funny dvd - about the after life. Steve Martin plays the part of a solicitor that become 1/2 possessed by the dead Lily. Very funny to watch and will have you rolling around on the floor in parts. |
