      Poul N Having read Kurt Vonnegut's novel and felt tears for the world running down my spine, I liked this take on his ongoing horror of life in United Bluff. Vonnegut's exiting the slaughterhouse in flattened Dresden in 1945 after the bombing and the firestorm and then getting paid a dollar for each corpse he dug out from the ruins came to mind and then this very young director, and Kahn, Feldman... bum, bum. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review Audience Member One of jerry's best movies. I cannot believe more people are not talking about this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a good movie, but a bit better than most give it credit for. If you like 80s camp, Jerry Lewis and Vonnegut then it's mildly entertaining. Generally, it's uncanny. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member You can find the trailer and possibly the whole movie on youtube, but I'd recommend you skip it. This looked so bad it had to be funny, and it's not. After watching "The King of Comedy" i'd expected more from Jerry Lewis's mature work and i could not have been more disappointed. One star is generously given only because of some of the casting choices (Marty Feldman, Jim Backus) and some of the more insane plot points in the film. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow...I...uh...oh...um...I...just...um...I...I...uh................WOW. I have to say, I've seen a lot of shitty films in my time, but this one could very well be the absolute worst. And I mean, THE WORST. There isn't a funny moment to be found in the entire film. Ostensibly an adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's novel Slapstick, this is really, all told, a pile of garbage. A huge, stinking, rotten pile of garbage. Watching this movie made me wish the world would end. Even MADELINE FREAKING KAHN couldn't save it. Just...WOW!!!!!!! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I like Jerry Lewis films...But sorry for saying...But this film was freaken Aweful...
