Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

qponsuzy Cracking Up is one of my favorite movies.....OK, I might have a weird sense of humor... but the first time I saw it, I laughed so hard my side hurt. I bought the movie, and occasionally get it out and watch it again just to get a good laugh.several parts I like are the Restaurant scene, the waitress when she takes his order, it's hysterical. I'd love to do that to someone sometime.I also love the scene with the guru on the operating table, so funny.And the airplane scene..... "chef surprise....you'll love it" it makes me laugh just writing this.If you haven't seen this movie, get your hands on a copy and watch it.

RWolfson Jerry Lewis is hilariously amazing. He is truly a comic genius. He writes hilarious movies and executes them so well and this is no exception. This is a great movie A GREAT MOVIE ONE OF JERRY'S OVERLOOKED GEMS IS CORRECT!!!!!!!!! If Jerry reads this I just have to say, you are the best at slapstick, and you are hilarious the most talented comedian to ever live, but I have a feeling there is this one kid who is coming up who will become the greatest, all because of ur teaching through ur films and colgate comedy hours.

fergusdog The low rating of the movie may be misleading, the demographic show that this is a love it or hate it movie. 10 got the most votes, but lots of other votes from 1 to 9. The average is actually 6, only the weighted average pulls it down to 4. If you like slapstick comedies, I can only suggest you run see this movie. I'd rate it as one of the most funniest I've ever seen. The movie certainly lacks any sort of plot and is very chaotic. Its more a collection of Jerry Lewis thrown from one funny scene, into the other. To give an example: In one scene he tries to commit suicide by driving off a hill out in the middle of nowhere. The car gets stuck right at the edge and won't budge. So Jerry gets out, opens the trunk, and pours petrol all over him. Then he frantically looks for matches, only to realise he doesn't have any. If you can picture Jerry's face and body language throughout the whole seen and find that funny, you should really see this movie. I won't describe anymore scenes, as with every slapstick comedy, once you know the gag it's not as funny anymore. However, if you need a good plot and can't laugh out loud at slapstick comedies, you should maybe pass on that one. Or get yourself a better sense of humour...

Pumpkin-22 This is a sloppy mess of a comedy, with barely a plot to speak of, yet it contains some of the funniest bits Mr. Lewis has ever committed to film. It's one helluva lot better than the previous movie, "Hardly Working" which got a big theatrical release. It is the "Test Market Audience Mentality" that kept this excellent movie from getting a big-screen release in the U.S. "Cracking Up" keeps moving--if one gag fails, don't worry because there will be another, funnier one right on top of it. This overlooked gem has no less a fan than Martin Scorsese, who particularly loved the waxy floor opening credits sequence.
