Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

ShangLuda Admirable film.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

bkoganbing In Smorgasbord Jerry Lewis returns to the comedian that was top box office in the late Fifties and early Sixties, those days when he was guaranteed money in the bank for Paramount Pictures. With some old faces and new in it, Smorgasbord gives a bit of the Lewis of old in a series of comedy vignettes. It's all hung together by the plot premise of Jerry the klutz visiting psychiatrist Herb Edelman to find a cure for the disastrous life he's been leading up to that point. After that we get a series of skits, some admittedly better than others involving Jerry who seems to have had the wrong name, it should have been Jonah.An old face in drag has Milton Berle sounding sexy with Ruta Lee's voice, but looking like Milton. Long time Lewis friend Sammy Davis Jr. appears as himself and regrets entrusting Lewis with his car.My favorite two are a pair of female comedians Zane Buzby who has a nasal Brooklyn accent and a voice you would kill her for playing a waitress and Donna Ponterotto playing a stewardess in a hilarious skit about Lewis taking a trip on a budget airline to London. In that same skit is Foster Brooks as a drunken airline pilot. This was around the time Freddy Laker was offering budget trips on a short lived airline of his own. Sad that Jerry's box office days had passed. Smorgasbord could easily have fitted neatly in with The Patsy and Cinderfella in those days.

zsenorsock THIS is the film Jerry Lewis should have made his min-comeback with instead of the mawkish "Hardly Working". Yes, there isn't much of a story here, but like "The Bellboy" the gags for the most part are really pretty funny. The opening title sequence may contain Jerry's best moment in the film as he tries to cross a highly polished floor. Then listen what happens when the title card of the film's composer comes up. The scene where Jerry plays a cop and pulls over a overweight speeder is also one of his funniest in years. Can't argue this is a great film, but it IS funny and that's something Jerry had not been since at least "The Big Mouth" back in 1967. The other films Jerry made around this time were either just terrible ("Slapstick Encounters") or featured more of his dramatic side ("KIng of Comedy", "Funny Bones"). This film is just plain funny and its too bad it never got a wide theatrical release.

haggi5115 I have seen many funny movies come and go, but I have yet to see a movie as funny as this one! My brother and I saw this movie on cable, back in 1983 when i was 13 years old, and we were literally on the floor "cracking up"!! It really lives up to its title!! Jerry Lewis was at his very best! Thumbs wayyyyy up!!

Fydo This movie was one of Jerry Lewis's best in my opinion. I really think he is a good actor, director, writer, etc. and this movie definitely showed it. Lewis played a troubled man seemed to be cursed with bad luck. He showed off his talent by playing multiple characters, expressing the goofs that have happened during the course of his life. Must see this movie, it was awesome!
