He Hates These Cans

The Jerk, 1979.
Steve Martin in a role just made for him.
Country bumpkin tries to make it in the big city.

Steve makes it special, between the great timing and
his stupendous body language, it really works.
A very underrated flick, some sweet lines here…

nothing I’ve ever seen but they don’t stab very well.
Not that I’d (ahem) want to do such a thing…
