JERRY'S BEST, 5 August 2001
Author: MHochee from new jersey

Out of the Jerry Lewis movies I have seen, this is his best in my opinion. Excellent slapstick and sight gags. This movie will NEVER BE DATED. My favorite bit is where he has to answer the phones although there are many other great ones. GRADE: B+
