Audience Member This movie doesn't get a lot of love. However, it is one of my favorite movies. It's funny, exciting at times, and just a joy to watch. I like how it shows Jerry Lewis' range from goofball to sophisticated gentleman. I wish they would put it back on streaming, or have digital purchase available. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 47 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Another mature-themed Lewis film. Should be on DVD and / or Blu-ray. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I have a morbid fascination with Jerry Lewis. I don't find his films all that funny, but I always find them interesting in the absctact, like I'm watching the technical way to make a comedy. Lewis was a one man show during a time when no other actor was doing so, writing, producing, directing and acting in his own film. Lewis even pioneered many filmmaking techniques he's often not given credit for. But to this film in particular, Jerry stumbles upon a treasure map from a dying man and he then becomes embroiled in a mystery and finds himself on the run from killers who also want the map. It's all very silly and Jerry gets to do different characters. The best surprise of the film was getting to see George Takei in an uncredited one-scene role. It's worth watching if you like Jerry (or are just morbidy fascinated by him like me), but others should stay away.

Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member As I see it, this comedy is just too long. The first hour ranges from stupid to amusing to funny. But after an hour I got weary of watching. Again, RT got the title wrong. It s THE Big Mouth, not just Big Mouth.

Harland Sanders having a speaking role. Why that was we may never know. I even suspect I saw TV's Star Trek officer Sulu (George Teki) in a role as a pearl inspector! But that is pure conjecture on my part.

The Big Mouth is a 1967 comedy film produced, directed, co-written, and starring Jerry Lewis released on July 12, 1967 by Columbia Pictures. It was filmed in San Diego and features Frank De Vol as an onscreen narrator. Jerry Lewis is of course Jerry. He plays a man in trouble, big trouble, with the Mob. It provides slapstick laughs, some are priceless like Jerry trying to keep a boat from drifting away with his newfound crush girlfriend aboard.

I was amused through the first half then saw I had another hour to go. Ugh. Enough already. I couldn't bear to see another sight gag, another slapstick scene. This film was of its time and thats about it. Glad I saw it, glad it was over. See it for yourself and decide.
