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.

Nope. I'm not really into the Jerry Lewis and Dean thing. Even if Sean is in it.

I planned on watching it and did. It was pretty good even though I don't think that Jerry Lewis is very funny. I guess it is just a matter of when you were born I bet my mom and dad would find him funny. I was upset though because they skipped a big part of his life. I heard his first wife died and he married his young cousin. Where was that? I know why they skipped it though. It is okay to make Mr. Dean Martin look like a twotiming notverynice guybecause he is alredy DEAD

,but not Jerry Lewis because of the work he did for 'Jerrys kids" (the MS thing).

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.
