Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Funny Bones, directed by Peter Chelsom (Hear My Song), is a weird but intriguing comedy with a particularly dark edge. Oliver Platt plays a would-be comedian, the son of a major comedy star (Jerry Lewis); Dad's reputation even overshadows his son's Las Vegas debut. After that flop the son tries to go back to his roots and heads for his father's launch pad in Blackpool, England. There, he meets his previously unknown half-brother (Lee Evans), a bizarre comedy savant who teaches him a thing or two about taking risks to get laughs, and discovers a secret about how his father got started. Platt is likably lost and Lewis is perfectly overbearing, but the real find here is Evans, a rubber-faced, protean comic with always-surprising material. --Marshall Fine

I don't like to use the word hate but if I did this would be where I'd use it,I struggled through the entire thing & the only even interesting parts were a magic act & mabey a few bits & pieces that I can't even remember and I just watched it alittle while ago.Between the Rave Reviews & Jerry Lewis being in it I thought it had to be at least Good,but I was Disapointed at best,I felt it was more like a Woody Allen humor & I'm so not into his type of humor,but that's just My Opion...

One of the problems with categorizing movies is the expectation invariably set-up by the choice of category. I rented this on a VHS tape years ago, out of the comedy section. This is NOT a comedy - it's a very serious film about funny people. It's wonderful and well-worth watching, but if you expect it to be 'funny' you'll probably be disappointed.
This is not to say that there aren't many brilliant comedic routines in the film (Lee Evans is fabulous--), but the storyline itself is serious. ... Read More

After blowing his big Vegas debut, an aspiring comic (Oliver Platt) returns to the English seaside carnival town where he grew up to find a new act from among the performers who live there. Among the quirky characters he encounters is a maladjusted young man (Lee Evans) who just might be some kind of comic genius. This film starts well (with a kind of "Local Hero" vibe to it) and has a fantastic cast, but the various subplots become awkward and don't mesh well. It's fun to see Jerry Lewis doing a dramatic ...

Very quick shipment of item as described. It is a gift so I have not seen the movie yet but am sure it is perfect.

I went to see Funny Bones when it first came out at the art theatre in Austin TX. I thought there were several good comedic bits but was underwhelmed by the film as a whole. Yet embedded in this movie are strange bits that linger in the fringes of the mind - not quite brilliant, but very intriguing. Among these (and occurring within the first 20 minutes of the movie) are the drive through the Blackpool "characters", the fun house ride where patrons scream loudest at the living mannequins, the comedic horror ...
