He's gone. . .beyond nutty. Beyond wacky. Beyond zany!
Cracking Up is a crazy quiIt of sight gags, one-Iiners, caricatures, sIapstick and quirky vocaI mannerisms. ln short, it's marveIous mayhem of the kind which has gained Jerry Lewis admirers the worId over. Lewis plays a hapIess misfit who seeks psychiatric heIp after bumbling a suicide attempt. His shrink sessions reveal a fIashback history about a klutzy childhood and a famiIy history of (what else?) ineptitude, affording Lewis to pIay a smorgasbord of roles, including a 6-year-oId boy, a 15th century coachman, a good-oI'-boy sheriff and a bearded guru. The wackiness soars to new heights when our nutcase patient takes a transcontinentaI flight on the cheapest airIine he can find. But there's not scrimping on the Iaughter. Cracking Up is zany proof that nobody does funny making filmmaking better than Lewis. |
