Aero Theater in Santa Monica Presents: Carl Reiner
Aero Theater Marquis Santa Monica
According to the Aero Theater’s website, “As writer, director, actor and producer, Carl Reiner stands alongside Mel Brooks and Woody Allen as one of the titans of late 20th century American comedy.” Regardless of where you place Reiner in your all time comedy list, he’s super funny and has Steve Martin to carry the film if you don’t agree.

Friday, March 6 – 7:30 PM
Director Carl Reiner In-Person! Double Feature (with Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid):
THE MAN WITH TWO BRAINS, 1983, Warner Bros., 93 min. Dir. Carl Reiner. Brain surgeon Steve Martin is saddled with a horrible wife (Kathleen Turner), until he comes up with the perfect solution: transplanting the brain of a sweet, romantic woman into his nasty spouse’s gorgeous body. Outrageous gags and typically witty Reiner-Martin wordplay ensue in one of the funniest films of the 1980s.
