Editorial Reviews

This modernization of Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac casts Steve Martin as C. D. Bates, the fearless, quick-witted fire chief of a Washington State resort town. Bates' most trusted fireman is the handsome but tongue-tied Chris McDonell (Rick Rossovich). Both men are in love with the beautiful Roxanne Kowalski (Darryl Hannah), but Bates, adorned with a huge nose that makes Bob Hope look like Nanette Fabray, is convinced that he's too homely to win Roxanne's heart. Thus, in the self-sacrificing tradition of Cyrano de Bergerac, Bates courts Roxanne vicariously by feeding his rival Chris the proper romantic words and phrases. The inherent pathos in Roxanne is offset by moments of slapstick, notably the scene wherein C. D. Bates vanquishes a pair of hooligans with a tennis racket. Steve Martin himself is credited with the screenplay for Roxanne, though he generously cites Edmond Rostand as his inspiration. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

February 23, 2006: The tennis racquet scene was good, but so was C.D.'s squelch of a "flat-faced flat-head" of a bar-room bully -- did anyone else notice that C.D. came up with, not 20, but 25 "something better"s?

January 27, 2006: In traditional style of Steve Martin in his Prime we have Roxanne. This film is fantastic all the way through. It has it's ups and downs like all shows but in this case even the downs seem to always be aiming at taking you higher then the one before it! The movie is amazing and the fact of the material it is based off of is absolutely mind blowing. My hat tips to Martin for the wonderful translation of a scene beyond imagination in that of the bar scene with the darts. His insult humor is a perfect modern recreation of the original Cyrano.
