Will someone please explain me why the movie is called The Man with Two Brains. The poster and the name are kinda misleading, it's as if Steve Martin's character has two brains. One brain is in the jar, I got that part. But the second one: Dolores's? His own? HELP! Funny film, though.

Easy. Everyone has a brain. In this movie the main character also has one in a jar. Hence the man with two brains. This isn`t quantum physics people.

I've understood it that it was supposed to be a stupid title, to get you in the mood for the parody that follows.

I think the title is a sendup of the old 1950's B horror movie titles. But with Steve Martin, it's hard to know what to expect. I am still trying to figure out what's with the title "Bowfinger".

It was the main character's last name and it sounds funny. I love that movie.

The title is just more "jerk" humor. He doesn't have 2 brains. It's a mild case of false advertisement. That in of it's self was supposed to be funny. Ha.
Imagine handing the script over to the producers and the main character has an unpronounceable name. More jerk humor. They had to take it because "the jerk" did so well.
To me this movie isn't funny. It's coke fueled retarded crap. If coke were acid, this movie wouldn't even be HEAD.

Actually 'bowfinger' is also another term used to describe the V-sign or "two-fingered salute". And of course the two brains are Anne's and his own.

There are two brains. The one of his wife (Kathleen Turner) and the one he is in love with (Sissy Spacek). He is a man with two brains (both of the women he loves, one body one mind).

Or he is torn between thinking with his big head and his little head. the scrotum can be referred to as a brain because of the way it looks when contracted.
The simplest answer is that the writers were doing an awful lot of cocaine.

No, I'm pretty sure the simple answer is that everyone has a brain, but he happens to also have one in a jar. For fu cks sake people! How do you imbeciles manage to put your damned clothes on without help?
