Many attempts have been made to adapt Cyrano de Bergerac to the screen, but the most successful adaptation is Roxanne (1987). Steve Martin plays a fire chief with a remarkable schnoz. He aids firefighter Rick Rossovich in wooing Daryl Hannah by writing elegant, romantic letters. This is a fun version of the Cyrano tale with good comedy and a strong performance from Martin. I recommend Roxanne to fans of Steve Martin, to those interested in film adaptation, and to everyone who enjoys comedies. Some of the humor may be too adult for younger viewers, so parents should use discretion.
I really did like the movie. The reason I bought the movie is because my husband looks so much like Steve Martin. I try to buy all movies that Steve is in. I feel like I'm watching my husband on screen.
This movie is an updated version of Cyrano deBergerac. It is very well done and well-received by the critics.
