STEVE! (MARTIN) A DOCUMENTARY IN 2 PIECES 🤩 

STEVE! (MARTIN) A DOCUMENTARY IN 2 PIECES is a detailed, hilarious, serious look at his life as the “biggest comedian in show business ever.” It is a delightfully entertaining journey from THEN to where he is NOW.

Steve Martin wanted to perform his entire life. He began at age ten and is still going strong at 76 when filming this documentary. It is truly a gift to be able to read Steve’s notes and journals. He took the h time throughout his life to write how he felt or thought about every success and setback. The clips were outrageous, and funny, and gave the entire film its heart and soul. The snippets of opinions from famous actors and fellow comedians added to the foundation of discovering who Steve Martin is at his core. Watching Johnny Carson, Cher, Diane Keaton, Jerry Seinfeld, David Letterman, Lorne Michaels, John Denver, Phil Donahue, and of course, Martin Short added the credibility to make it all feel real and authentic. 

It was brilliant to divide the documentary into two sections. It followed his path to achieving his goals in stand-up, movies, music, magic, writing, art, and cartooning. Adding all this together and audiences have a bird’s eye view of a “wild and crazy guy.” It was a fascinating picture of an honest, flawed man who overcame and found the love he was always searching for in his later years. 

STEVE! (MARTIN) A DOCUMENTARY IN 2 PIECES will keep the laughs coming at his “stupid” jokes and antics. My feet were doing the “happy dance” while watching. He is a genius. I am warning everyone, be prepared to smile and giggle. Thank you, Steve, for your unique and quirky look at life. It is streaming on Apple TV+.
