Remember when 38 was considered old? All of Me feels dated from word Go when Steve Martin's jobbing lawyer hits his mid-life crisis at that age, but there's an overall old-fashionedness to Carl Reiner's last movie with Martin that seems on purpose, so we might let it go - a silly supernatural premise, Lily Tomlin's sheltered character having no guile at all, the giant mansions, the quick switch between genres... Yep, it's like one of those 1930s fantasy romances. And if it HAD been made way back then, it would have been better received, I think. Set in the greedy 80s, there's something a little off-putting about the notion of the super-rich prolonging their lives by sticking their souls into willing poor servants, no matter how much we may like Tomlin. At least Martin remarks upon it. He's in a good form, selling a certain grounded melancholy and frustration, while also managing good physical comedy and slapstick, especially in the front-end farce. In the end, All of Me is about people feeling incomplete and making each other whole, two literal soul-mates unhappy with their choices or lot in life and getting to call a Mulligan. It's... cute. 6 months 1 week ago
