| User ReviewJon HGreat movie for those that like classic humor. |
| User ReviewAnthony JOne Jerry Lewis' funnier movies. Sure it may be dated and somewhat offensive but so what. |
| User ReviewZoran SIt's not the greatest Lewis film but it's still very funny and border-line surrealist. Though it lacks Lewis's super sophisticated mise-en-scene and framing, the concept does have a lot of legs. |
| User ReviewPaul DJerry Lewis shouts his way through this comedy which has its moments, but too few of them. |
| User ReviewLucas MSuper silly Jerry Lewis movie that has you rolling your eyes instead of rolling in the aisles. |
| User ReviewJohn YSuper silly Jerry Lewis movie that has you rolling your eyes instead of rolling in the aisles. |
| User ReviewJames H26/100. Terribly unfunny, to the point of being offensive. This is one of Jerry Lewis' worst films, and considering how many bad movies he has made, that is saying a lot. The only thing worse than Jerry Lewis as an actor, is Jerry Lewis as a director. The only thing good or in the least bit memorable are a few of the small supporting performances, notably Kathleen Freeman. Otherwise this is a horrendously written and boring mess. |
