All of Me shares with a lot of great screwball comedies a very simple approach: Use absolute logic in dealing with the absurd. Begin with a nutty situation, establish the rules, and follow them. The laughs happen when ordinary human nature comes into conflict with ridiculous developments.

Bringing together Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin is a fairly inspired idea. And bringing them together in the same body is like heaping whipped cream atop inspiration. [17 Sep 1984, p.89]
Martin and Tomlin are both uninhibited physical comics. They tune in to each other's timing the way lovers do in life, only more so.
The screwball side of All of Me cries out for a latter-day Howard Hawks. Alas, there is no latter-day Howard Hawks. Reiner is only a latter-day Reiner. [21 Sep 1984, p.C1]

Steve Martin's performance as a man partially possessed by a woman is incredible. Other than that there are a few laughs, but overall this movie just hasn't aged well. I give it a D, just don’t bother.
