This movie looks pretty good. Does anyone plan on watching it tonight? I'm looking forward to seeing Sean Hayes in the role of Jerry Lewis.

I watched the film also. The film started out perfectly. The first hour or so was just excellent, and the performances were just excellent. Sean Hayes was much better in his scenes with Jeremy (Dean Martin); his scenes alone seem a bit unfocused and totally flaky. The beginning for which he is performing on his own was almost a bit embarrasing. The two together had excellent chemistry, and it was all so interesting. My female cousin Pamela's best friend Kate Levering played the stunning, but a bit evil second-wife of Dean. I felt HORRIBLE when Dean left on his first-wife, and lost respect for him. However, the film flowed along nicely, and the sense of humor was greatly there. However, the last half hour of the film didn't seem right. I was sad that Dean and Jerry had broken up, and that Dean was now this mean-spirted guy, who had a heart but never showed it in his final days with Jerry. Overall, I'll give the film a B+ because it not only entertained me, but gave my information on these two actors.

I was so surprised at how Dean was portrayed. He seemed so cruel. In the other movies about him they glamorized him as being a saint. He was horrible with his 1st wife. He was portrayed as a man made of stone.

As for Jerry, The actor portrayed him well. I was also surprised that Jerry needed alot of attention. WoW............ I had already known that Jerry was an emotional type so that didn't surprise me. I thought the movie was good........
