Movie Reviews

Slant Magazine - 10/10 by Eric HendersonThe Patsy reflects a genuine affection for the artisans and jacks-of-all-trades that make careers like his possible.
n+1 - 9/10 by A.S. Hamrah...Lewis' comedy is so exasperating it makes people watching it break things, the way his handlers drop cups and overturn bottles watching him in disbelief at his one-of-a-kind incompetence...
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Mick LaSalleThe essential mistake that's made about Lewis is assuming his movies were intended mainly to be funny. I suspect they were intended mainly to be really, really weird.
CinePassion - 7/10 by Fernando F. CroceWho is Jerry Lewis, and why is he funny when he's serious and serious when he's funny?
Village Voice - 5/10 by Andrew SarrisThe Patsy's slim story line has it ups and downs, sometimes being hilarious, frequently unfunny.
The New York Times - 3/10 by Bosley CrowtherAnother moronic mishmash in which Mr. Lewis falls all over himself.
User Review - 10/10 by angie mVery funny, loved it. Jerry Lewis is the best.
