| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumOdd drama about eccentric show biz family, featuring Jerry Lewis in rare dramatic role. |
| User Reviewangie mI thought this movie was very funny! And of course any movie with Jerry Lewis is funny! I love him. |
| User ReviewMarion Rwhat a film so awsome and jerry lewis is one of my favorit actors and lee evans what a comedian |
| User ReviewTimothy BTop British film, lee evans is perfect for his role, his energies are restrained and are not annoying! |
| User Reviewoliver mOne of the funniest, sweetest, most nostalgic films ever made. Probably the unfortunate title and horrible print ad campaign killed it (see above image - who wants to see >that< movie?). This is one of those rare films, like Local Hero or Cold Comfort Farm, that will have the viewer yearning for a re-visit. Too many classic scenes to mention. The film probably runs a little long, but I'm stumped at what could possibly be cut. If you love films, this is required viewing. A masterpiece. |
| User ReviewDonald CFunny, quirky, thoughtful, heartfelt movie |
| User ReviewNate TJerry Lewis plays both humor and drama well here. However, there is a slight tone of boredom in Lewis' tone when he speaks. Oliver Platt almost single-handedly carries the bulk of this film. The cast here is in good form. |
| User ReviewBronagh Fbrilliant movie im speechless bout it its just brilliant |
| User Reviewash uAs close to perfect as you can get. A perfect cast (Lee Evans makes his maor role debut) and a brilliant story. Never meet a person yet who did not enjoy this film... |
| User ReviewJames CLove, love, love. This is true old-school comedy, vaudeville-style clowning. Wow. |
