Movie Reviews of Roxanne

Movie Review: dvd
Summary: 5 Stars

What a wild and wacky place to find a Fire Chief and a Rocket Scientist, both looking for love. Steve Martin is in excellent form as is Darryl Hannah. The town becomes part of the ensemble, too. Highly recommended, especially if your significant other watches with you.

Summary of Roxanne

A small town fire cheif with an astonishingly long nose falls in love with a gorgeous astronomy student. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 11/15/2005 Starring: Steve Martin Darryl Hannah Run time: 107 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Fred Schepsi

In 1987, almost a hundred years after its first production, the romantic story of Cyrano de Bergerac found new life in a winsome film written by Steve Martin. Roxanne updates the tale with a smart '80s spin, yet writer-star Martin stays close to the old-fashioned heart of the matter. He plays a small-town firefighter named C.D. Bales, whose otherwise unremarkable existence is crowned by an amazingly long nose. He falls for the world's most beautiful astronomer (Daryl Hannah), but he is embarrassed by the size of his proboscis and prefers to stay on the sidelines. Like Cyrano, the shy C.D. instead helps a handsome friend (Rick Rossovich) woo the fair lady by providing flowery sentiments and soulful poetry. Not only does the story still work, but Australian director Fred Schepisi captures a dreamy grace in his visual design for the film (some of which will be lost without the widescreen format). Set in Washington State, but filmed in the hilly ski resort of Nelson, British Columbia, the location seems like a fairy-tale town, nearly as unreal as Steve Martin's nose. --Robert Horton
