“A sentimental Jerry Lewis comedy about a down and out magician who takes a job entertaining the troops in Japan and meets a young mother and her son who hasnu0026#39;t laughed since his father died.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo Iu0026#39;ve had this one here for years and avoided it because of the title. Even for a Jerry Lewis movie it sounded too dumb or offensive. While it didnu0026#39;t have the genius routines of The Bellboy, but it was entertaining, funny in a few places, but most surprisingly it was likable. Jerry was likable, the supporting cast were likable, and I had a good time. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e3/5”
