Read MoreSettle back and enjoy the tale of the nasally prominent fire chief (C.D.) falling in unrequited love with the beautiful astronomer (Roxanne), while she and the dimwitted but cute new fireman in town (Chris) only have lust for each other. When C.D.'s eloquence speeds the seduction, the game of love and confusion is afoot. Memorable corollary scenes of the inept fire squad inadvertently igniting everything they touch, a gaggle of old ladies on the run after GMILF-seeking extraterrestrials, and of C.D. triumphing in a battle of wits with an unarmed bar bully add comic value. A younger, hipper, and edgier Martin is so utterly naughty and charming that you'd like to take him home and introduce him to your own beautiful, brainy female relative and let Darryl Hannah go to blazes.
I take this film out knowing I will enjoy it as much as the first time, and despite Hannah'Âs painfully visible acting deficit, Roxanne still allows me to let go and believe in celestial magic. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

It has slapstick humor and it is typical Steve Martian movie. I do recommend it to all. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreA classic tale told in a romantic style. Roxanne is a sweet romantic comedy from a forgotten simple era of film making. No killing, or gratuitous violence. No language that you do not hear on network TV, and the sex happens off screen.The language is occasionally adult, and sex is discussed (not shown), so if you cannot handle this then stick with the Disney channel.
Steve Martin and Daryl Hanna give career performances. The story, based on a timeless classic, does not follow todays romantic comedy formulas. It's gentle, cute, and amusing, suitable for most of the family. There is nothing here you do not hear or see during TV episode of Grey's Anatomy. In fact, the story is quite tame by todays network TV standards. Light the fire or jump in the hot tub and enjoy. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
