Shawn N @shawn70 19h Big Lewis fan here, but this one is a sleeper and the same old same old. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 3 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Eric F. @elfman Oct 5 Some truly hilarious skits. I watched this on HBO as a child and have loved it ever since. Jolly Fats Weehawkin, a yogi’s first surgery while awake, slipping and sliding in the psychiatrist’s office, the bank robbery, and so many great scenes. I have always loved Jerry and always will.

It's the story of Warren (Jerry Lewis) who tells a psychiatrist (Herb Edelman) all of his problems through various skits. While the film was funny (mostly because of Dick Butkus), the film still doesn't hold up. The editing by Gene Fowler Jr. was obviously horrendous especially during the chair used in the opening hanging sequence disappears entirely and then suddenly reappears. Just like all the other Jerry Lewis films, Cracking Up has blatant product placement. The film's writing by Jerry Lewis and Bill Richmond was also ridicolous at times. Will you be cracking up at Jerry Lewis' Cracking Up? Maybe you will. Maybe you won't. But I'll say this. Cracking Up is better than Jerry Lewis' previous two films Which Way to the Front? and Hardly Working but that's not saying much. See more 06/07/2021 The opening sequence for this one is not only superbly funny, it's one of the longest extended sequences of pratfalls I can think of where you see all the falls fully on film, and Lewis was 56!!! No stunt men, no padding, this is Lewis doing his best choreography on a shiny floor and it is stunning. When you put it into the context that he had a triple bypass right after this film wrapped, on top of a back injury before that, it really is one of the most amazing opening sequences you will ever see from a truly athletic comedian who made his falls look like a ballet.
