The Jerk (1979)

If it weren't for Steve Martin, I would have called it a goner. But Steve manages to get this movie a little bit of respect. Akin to light in a dark room from a key hole in the door. OK, maybe a little more than that: maybe the crack from an unclosed window.

Then again, maybe it was the beer that made it better. The Jerk is your 'i'm-so-bored-i-got-nothing-to-do' movie. It might make you laugh, but then you've seen better comedy for sure.

Not to make it sound that bad, the script was decent enough that you'd notice it, and some aspects of the comedy are sometimes witty. But the bottom line is that I'd forget this movie soon. Sorry Steve.
