well?

not crap, i actually enjoy his movies...

I loved him in that movie with the kids with MD.

I mean, it's not very funny, but I watch it every year. He's really believable as the slime ball who pretends to care.

NOT CRAP.

I liked his movies as a kid. I wonder if I still would.

What a weird film. Incredible story of that movie, I believe Harry Shearer is one of a handful of people to actually see a cut of the picture. He said that Jerry doesn't understand why it was shelved. Really fucking strange.

I loved the Martin and Lewis stuff, Nutty Professor and his performance in King of Comedy. The guy is a huge talent.

That's pretty much my take.
I don't think I've seen one since I was maybe 12 at the oldest.

Many years ago, when I ran a reading series at KGB, we staged a reading of this movie, with a guy named Peter Trachtenberg as Jerry Lewis/Helmut Doork.

It was awesome. I want to take it on the road someday.

Does anybody else compulsively mouse over underlined text expecting it to be a link?
