In "All of Me" (1984), stubborn millionaire Edwina Cutwater, on the brink of death, concocts a peculiar dying wish for her uptight lawyer, Roger Cobb: to have her soul transferred into the vibrant Terry Hoskins. However, the spiritual transference goes disastrously awry. Instead of finding its intended host, Edwina's soul unexpectedly inhabits Roger's body, creating a chaotic and hilariously dual existence where Roger must constantly battle Edwina for control of his own being. This film absolutely belongs on a "Best Carl Reiner Movies" list for its sheer comedic ingenuity and Reiner's masterful direction of a highly unconventional premise. Reiner, known for his brilliant comedic timing and talent for eliciting fantastic performances, orchestrates a masterclass in physical comedy and witty banter, primarily through the dynamic between Steve Martin as Roger Cobb and Lily Tomlin as the intrusive Edwina within him. The film's innovative concept, exploring themes of identity and control through a supernatural lens, is handled with a light touch and a relentless comedic drive, showcasing Reiner's ability to blend absurd situations with relatable character struggles for maximum laughs and enduring entertainment.
