Jerry Lewis is a skilled director, as he was in The Ladies Man, and once again puts in a skillful performance. <br /><br />But, but, but . . . I just don't find anything he does funny. Which is a problem in a comedy film that's a vehicle for one performer.Dessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172245410667624187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335502008944631925.post-81491299953302360512018-01-13T15:45:10.733-08:002018-01-13T15:45:10.733-08:00My high school had like four sexual misconduct sca...My high school had like four sexual misconduct scandals related to teachers while I was there so that was perhaps the most realistic part for me.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13701724130997076650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335502008944631925.post-2879883976104503992017-12-28T01:47:28.648-08:002017-12-28T01:47:28.648-08:00Beside all the Jerry Lewis (which I incidentally s...Beside all the Jerry Lewis (which I incidentally share), how about the idea of a teacher hitting on a student?

The 'Jekyll' side of him.. (is it called something crass like 'Buddy Love'?) is a nightmare. We may disgree as to which gender it is the most offensive.. Men, for making out that is what we are supposed to be, or women for what they are supposed to go for. What was the other one we had to watch for this list? The one where he becomes a caretaker in a Barbie doll pink house full of silly pink barbie doll caricatures? Laies man or something? Which was worse?<br />Hey, it's not worth it.<br />I will, at risk of being expelled from the 'We hate Jerry Lewis club', say I thought he did a great job in King of Comedy.<br />Ray<br />(If Andrew reads this, sorry, I know you like him..)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335502008944631925.post-28258956288859330402013-10-18T07:10:43.343-07:002013-10-18T07:10:43.343-07:00I hate Jerry Lewis, too, but I have to say that I ...I hate Jerry Lewis, too, but I have to say that I love when you are forced to watch them!

When I was younger, back in the day, we didn't have as many viewing choices as we do now. it was inevitable that I would end up watching his movies and I HATED HIM! I don't even care that he did nice things for kids with MDA every Labor Day weekend. I still hate him.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15726625184023392723noreply@blogger.com
