Leave your thoughts about Hardly Working.
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittIt's a bumpy movie, no more graceful than its buffoonish main character. Worse, the star tries to have it two ways, alternating between manic physical comedy and softspoken self-pity. The result if often awkward, and sometimes downright weird. |
| User ReviewMichael LGreat fun, though Lewis is a bit long in the tooth here for some of this material. It is another mature-themed Lewis film. Should be on DVD and / or Blu-ray. |
| User ReviewPhil SI watched this film in 1981 in a packed house at the Mayfair theatre in Gutenberg , NJ. The audience laughed and laughed . Jerry is excellent . The story is fun. But like so many slapstick oriented films, there are numerous opportunities blown . The beautiful deanna Lund (Tony Rome , land of the Giants) never shows a kneecap. |
| User ReviewAl KLater works of Jerry Lewis, not the best but not the worst. |
| User ReviewJeremy MJerry Lewis comeback film where he plays a clown who moves in with his sister's family when the circus is shut down. Hard to imagine this earned Jerry many new fans as he uses virtually the same dated material he did in the 50's. Lewis fans will likely enjoy but there is only so many times I can laugh at him knock something over or spill a drink on someone. |

| User ReviewMichael WJerry Lewis comeback as unemployed clown attempting to find another line of work. Lewis' charm comes thru at times but film confirms that the 'Golden Age' of comedy really wasn't so golden. Buck teeth and drag aren't automatically hilarious anymore. |
