i have a theory . first and we all know that french have have a love affair with jerry lewis movie and . right . second and they must have see this movie . third and the french now hate the united state . so and i assume this movie be the reason . it get to be a this film only serve to enrage normal people . so and be it funny . yep for about 2 minute . that about the length of the airplane skit . it very funny and highly original but hardly make it worth sit through this mess . i be serious when i say this be one of the only movie i have see that make me physically ill. the one and only time in my life i have a migraine occur a i watch this and i know it be the fault of the movie . for example and the movie begin a lewis enters a therapist office and spend the next 75 minute slip on the floor and slide off the vinyl furniture . okay and maybe it only last 30 minute but it seem like it would go on forever . then and later in the film he repeat this sequence again . my head felt like it be ready to explode . somebody need to tell this man to stop . fortunately for the studio and this film be not release since they know it be a bomb and it be later release on cable and video . for this and someone need to pay . if you like pain and want to see other jerry lewis monstrosity and see most of his flick after his breakup with dean martin ( particularly slapstick of another kind ) and avoid the king of comedy ( where lewis do an excellent job play it straight ) . ps despite it be raise to classic status and the nutty professor wasn not funny . at least without the use of alcohol and drug or a severe blow to the head .
