chediavolo March 30, 2024 Share March 30, 2024 I love Steve Martin now but I found this boring. Don’t think his early comedy was very funny. Just juvenile. I did like 2 wild & crazy guys back in the day though 😃 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/144037-steve-martin-a-documentary-in-2-pieces/#findComment-8328204

Spartan Girl March 31, 2024 Share March 31, 2024 I found it interesting, particularly when it was noted that longing is a big part in a lot of his characters. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/144037-steve-martin-a-documentary-in-2-pieces/#findComment-8328681

Some of the information was interesting but the film was still dull in its presentation.

I do respect him for superimposing a stick figure image over his daughter. Never hurts to protect your children’s privacy. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/144037-steve-martin-a-documentary-in-2-pieces/#findComment-8328995
SoMuchTV June 2, 2024 Share June 2, 2024 (edited) I liked this, but I definitely enjoyed the second part more. Seems like part one could have been shortened quite a bit but still tell the story. I had to laugh in the second part, where SM and MS were discussing careers and aging, and one of them said something like, who else is having an active career, in their 70s? (Implying that was extremely unlikely) The other pointed out Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin and their recent show, and they both seemed to concede that they were the exceptions. Dudes! You’re in a show with Meryl Streep! Edited June 2, 2024 by SoMuchTV Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/144037-steve-martin-a-documentary-in-2-pieces/#findComment-8384646
