This was the first one on my list, not the first I watched though. I found it hilarioius. Steve Martin stars as a total idiot, who was adopted when he was just a baby by a large family of african/americans. He decided on his 30th (I think) birthday to go find a place for himself in the world. Inspired by a radio station, Naven Johnson R. moves to New Orleans (again, unsure), where he works and lives at a gas station. It's there sending where he meets a man with annoying glasses that won't stay on his face. Naven adds a little handle on the front so that the sides won't get stretched, and also applies friction to prevent slippage. The man is fascinated and begins selling them, making Naven a billionaire. But, as the tagline says, it's a "Rags to Riches to Rags" story. Absolutely hilarious, and very enjoyable.
**HIGHLY RECCOMENDED**
