StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

atlasmb I like Jerry Lewis and I think some of his work is really good. But when I sat down to watch this movie, I could not get past the first ten minutes or so.First of all, the production is really, really sloppy. The soundtrack has lapses when there is no sound. The voice track does not match the image. Pieces are edited in without matching the action.It's okay for Jerry to do his schtick, but the same thing over and over? His verbal nonsequitors get old quickly.The gags are sometimes plugged into the plot haphazardly.The resulting film is amateurish. But I do like some of Jerry's work.

daviddaphneredding I am being beneficient and/or munificent to give this movie a three-star rating. While as a boy I started seeing some of his first movies (e.g.-Jumping Jacks and Scared Stiff) and almost never missed a one of his movies all through my teen years, and was always taken with his patented laugh and very amusing antics, this movie was, I felt, a disappointment and a anomaly to most of his movies. While I did like seeing and hearing Harry James and His Orchestra, and while I liked seeing George Raft, the movie was basically a letdown. It was boring: it virtually had no plot and the acting was not of any great quality. If boredom is ever recommendable, this movie would singularly qualify for that. Again, I always liked Jerry Lewis', but this movie is, again, for many reasons, one of his worst.

moatazmohsen78 Jerry Lewis introduced a funny movie to send laughing for everyone suffer from bored and silly to take our life easy and simple to reach for achievement by his funny situations in this movie which talked about a man worked in a house for girls that each one of them had their story by different cores and explanations.He refused at first time his work and employee but after that he was familiar with a new position to find himself with every girl as a golden key to solve their problems and to prepare them to face their lives by their hardness with pure spirit and laughing face as his personalities.In every time he tried to leave this home but girls forbidden him to leave it but at the end girls knew his pure core and brilliant behavior then they promised him to change their way in this life and to be good and honest in their works which will make this house in it,s atmosphere (the spirit of heaven and core of paradise).Jerry Lewis was a great actor that in Egypt many actor were influenced upon his style as a great comic actors in 1950s and 1960s.

brucewla As the reviewer said before me, this just wasn't funny. I had prepared a review of this film after seeing it last week on TCM, but I guess I was too harsh and they didn't post it, but I still want to share my thoughts, so if you all don't mind, I'll try to be kinder and gentler.I have always been (sort of) a Jerry Lewis fan, in fact when I was a small child, I really loved him, and I think that maybe, when I was maybe 10 or 12 years old, and saw a movie like this, I probably thought it was much funnier, than I do now, as a middle aged person. As I have stated in other reviews, I think that Jerry's films from this time frame where he was in complete control of the production suffered from that, because they focused too much on him, and his antics, and not the story per se. And as I stated, when you compare a film like this to one of the very good ones that were made back then (like the Nutty Professor), it just seems all the more a shame.Basically Jerry plays his "the little boy that never grew up" character, again, and here he finishes college I think but finds out his girl friend evidently found someone else, so he decides he hates girls now, and runs away west, looking for work, and wouldn't you know it the only job he can find is working at a (get ready for it) women's boarding house, that has, of course about 511 gorgeous girls running around. So for about 2 hours we have: Jerry making noises, Jerry making faces, Jerry destroying things, Jerrry making more faces, Jerry making more noises, etc. In fact, as far as "spoilers," I can't tell you how it ends, because I only made it halfway through.It was a shame how bad this movie was, truly truly awful.
