Under-Rated Greatness - FilmJunkie
Lee Evans gives one of the greatest modern slaptick performances in this black comedy about generations of comedy performers with dirty family secrets.
Oliver Platt plays the son of a famed comedian (Jerry Lewis) who suffers from lack-of-funny and thus goes to Blackpool, England, where his father once went to be inspired and discovers a huge dark family secret while trying to steal other people's jokes.
This film is fantastic and under-rated. The lovely Leslie Caron adds a romantic French soundtrack in her singing and her performance cuts through the very-male cast to show the love beneath those funny bones.
