Gerri Major Jet Magazine 01/17/2024
Jerry Lewis is a very funny fellow, and there are scenes in his latest film, Cinderfella, that will fracture you. But in this [film], the comic situations are ridden so long and so persistently that they eventually cease to be funny - at least for adults. Go to Full Review

CinderFella is amusing, light, entertaining at moments, but withal never quite achieves the right touch of delicacy. Go to Full Review

C-
It's a dreadful comedy that's only for diehard fans, critic apologists for such lame slapstick laced with sentimentality and the French. Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 Oct 13 Funny in 1 hour and 31 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All ages admitted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Brenda R Jul 20 I have never gotten bored watching any of Jerry Lewis movies. And have never been disappointed in any of his movies. It's great, clean entertainment for the Young and the Old and all in between. Even after several decades old these movies are still so very entertaining and can make you laugh. I wished I owned a theater, I'd play these movies continuously. They would be a whole lot of children at least in my area that would know about these older stars older singers and much about Our History. See more 09/23/2020 Looking for classic comedies for my lovely bride, I tried my first Jerry Lewis movie since elementary school. Big mistake. Insipid dialogue and story line, sophomoric, banal gags stretched to an exasperating length. Pure torture. Cinderfella is an assault on intelligence. I would have turned it off if I were by myself but I persevered to the end, optimistic for a redeeming feature. My hope was not rewarded. In order to confirm my reaction to Mr. Lewis' talents, I watched The Nutty Professor. It is a better movie, like a C- is better than an D- . See more 02/01/2020 Although it was enjoyable when I was a kid, a rewatch as an adult reveals the TERRIBLE EDITING of this film. Long drawn out slapstick improv is kept in while key elements of the story are left out (Fella's transformation, the fish turning into the driver, why does Fella offer the money to the steps and why did stepmom have a change of heart?) There is no follow up and very little character development...especially of the princess or the love story. It is so dumb we were angry by the end. See more bill t @Spuzz 03/08/2018 nOT SO HOT VERSION OF THE CINderella story. This is almost too much like the nutty professor (except that came out a little later( Some laughs, but nothing hysterical. See more Randy B 02/02/2018 Cinderfella is one of Jerry's best movies. Literally, bellyaches from his downright good-natured silliness. See more Read all reviews
