Roxanne
Comic genius Steve Martin delivers an incredible performance as an engaging small town fire chief who has only one tiny flaw--no, make that one HUGE flaw--his astonishingly long nose. Although he considers it no laughing matter, the hilarity never stops as C.D. Bales (Martin) contends with jerky nose jokes, a bumbling crew of firemen, and his secret love for gorgeous astronomy student Roxanne (Daryl Hannah). Unfortunately, she is attracted to fireman Chris (Rick Rossovich), who's tall on looks and short on conversation. And when C.D. agrees to coach the dumbstruck Chris in his pursuit of the fair maiden, this ticklish triangle dissolves into a hilarious series of rib-tickling romantic misadventures.

A really good comedy. - moviegenius
Roxanne is a romantic comedy starring Steve Martin as a firefighter chief with a nose that's about the size of Pinnochio's nose and who falls in love with the new girl in town, played by Daryl Hannah. However, there's a catch. The new firefighter is a real hottie who likes Daryl Hannah and Daryl Hannah likes him. So, Steve Martin helps the newbie woo Daryl Hannah. The movie has some very weird humor, but that's just Steve Martin. I must be honest, I wasn't really looking forward to seeing this movie when I first heard it. I thought it would be just some Steve Martin comedy that I wouldn't really get, but it wasn't that at all. It was really good.Bit - AP--
This was once perhaps a somewhat decent movie, but the cheese factor now is overwhelming. The nose is so fake and the foolish firefighter is overdone. This movie annoyed me more than anything else; not worth the ziplisting. Steve Martin has made so many other great movies. Bypass this one and choose another. You will be disappointed otherwise.
