| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertSo what's new? Nothing. Lewis has been in this rut for 10 years and he used to make good, funny movies but now he only marks time and does the easy stuff he knows by heart. |
| User ReviewAllan CI loved all of Jerry's movies when I was a kid, but as I got older many of them did not seem all that funny or enjoyable anymore. Several of them however, still crack me up every time I watch them and The Big Mouth is definitely in that category. I guess you have to be fan of the Three Stooges to enjoy a movie like this one and I am big fan of the Stooges. This movie along with Which Way to the Front are my two favorite Lewis movies now, both being nothing more than simple slapstick comedy vehicles for Jerry and buddies to have fun on camera. I will be very glad when this is released on BluRay or DVD. |
| User ReviewBob WThe Big Mouth is one the few Lewis directed films not available on DVD. In many ways, it has more in common with his last film Cracking Up (1983) than his previous films: though it has a â??storyâ?? about diamonds and mistaken identity there is little to no narrative coherence and the â??gagsâ?? are not so much conventionally funny, as they are bizarre, surreal, uncomfortable, and manipulate film form in ingenious ways |
| User ReviewNate TAnother mature-themed Lewis film. Should be on DVD and / or Blu-ray. |
