Steve Martin (The man with two brains) stars as fire chief Charlie Bales, a man with a big nose. This unusual feature makes him believe he will be able to be with a girl he has just met, the beautiful Roxanne.... Full review

Roxanne likes how Chris looks....One thing which also struck me is the lack of evil characters.....This is a nice film.....Daryl Hannah is pretty, Steve Martin is pretty funny, Rick Rossovich is pretty vacant, and overall the film is pretty good.....loved it because of all of the slapstick comedy..... ...

Roxanne" is a sweet, entertaining version of Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac , the French play that enjoyed one of the longest runs on Broadway.....That's because of the considerable charms of Daryl Hannah (whose nude backside is shown again, ala "Splash") and the comic one-liners and monologues.... ...

This modern take on Cyrano de Bergerac finds C.D. Bales (Martin), a local firefighter with a nose for poetry, as well as beautiful astronomer Roxanne (Daryl Hannah).....There's virtually nothing going on in the surrounds here, except for the occasional dated sounds of Bruce Smeaton's score.....Any Steve Martin fan will consider Roxanne a highlight in the comedian's career.....While the movie holds up pretty well, this 2.40:1 transfer does not..... ...

A sparkling support cast and a witty script look after the rest.....CD's predicament, robustly brought to life by the great Steve Martin, generates at least an hour of laughs..... ... Full Review

Roxanne" is the most unabashed, and most satisfying, romantic movie to come along in years.
As Roxanne, Daryl Hannah is the perfect object of his affections, the silent-comedy dream girl.
Martin's C.D. is a natural romantic; poetry flows out of him.
