You know that something is inherently wrong here when the best part of the film comes at the very end, when the credits are rolling on screen and Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin are dancing away as they play and sing All of Me.
The plot is ridiculous. Wealthy but ailing Tomlin is forever dying and does just that at her lawyer's office. She had some Indian guru in a plot to bring her sole to her stable hand's daughter, aptly played by Victoria Tennant. Tennant is supposedly a sweet young lady but turns the table on everyone when she turns utterly vicious and has no intentions of assuming Tomlin in her. Accidentally, Tomlin lands in the body of lawyer-musician Martin. Martin walks around like Richard III and talks like both a man and woman.
There are some funny scenes, especially the court one. The ending seems to come quickly and is ridiculous just as most of the picture is.
