Sneeze, and it's "Goodbye, Seattle"
__________________This is such a good movie. Like other screenplays Steve Martin has written, it's based on a classic piece of literature. The scene (about 30 minutes in) where Martin's character comes up with 20 different jokes about his nose actually has more than 20 (count 'em), which is something we no-lifes notice while watching.Daryl Hannah -- sweet, gorgeous, tall, talented, unemployed? That's a shame. Her performance in this movie is the best of any of hers that I've seen. A few years later she had a cameo in "Crimes and Misdemeanors" -- a truly great movie -- in which, alas, she had to play a stereotypical dumb blonde actress.There are so many laughs, and so much sensitivity, that I'm not surprised at all that "Roxanne" is my sister's favorite Steve Martin movie. I love "L.A. Story", but have to give a slight edge to "Roxanne".
