In this modern take on Edmond Rostand's classic play "Cyrano de Bergerac," C. D. Bales is the witty, intelligent, and brave fire chief of a small Pacific Northwest town who, due to the size of his enormous nose, declines to pursue the girl of his dreams, lovely Roxanne Kowalski. Instead, when his shy underling Chris McConnell becomes smitten with Roxanne, C.D. feeds the handsome young man the words of love to win her heart.

It's a neat trick, being Steve Martin. He's so good; his movies will get even better.

In the end it's hopelessly sappy stuff.

Far and away [Martin's] richest film to date, lyrical, sweet-natured, touching, and very, very funny.

– Janet Maslin,

rotten:
Martin claims to have written 25 script drafts for this film, which indicates the uphill trudge he faced...what he has produced is Steve Martin playing a nice 'n' wacky guy in a sappy story.
