HI FI BOB

For a guy that knows so much about film making,it's odd that he never made a great movie.

Did I miss something? Exactly how did you reach the conclusion that Jerry knows much about film? - tinear 17:42:10 05/14/12 (0)
Even if he did, would that matter? Do film professors have potentially great films inside them bursting to get out?

  Hated it. The first 2/3rds or so was so slow I nearly left the theater. Things sped up a bit at the end. I was probably too young to "get it."

  He did a better job than DeNiro in his role.

    None of the movies he directed are really great.Ok,he comes up with the Dean Martin-esque alter ego Buddy Love in The Nutty Professor,hysterically funny inspired idea but the movie as a whole is uneven,he sometimes get too hammy with the slapstick and the film doesn't flow all that well.You can say the same for the rest of them,plenty of great sight gags in all of them but I watch The Bell Boy,Family Jewels and I'm left feeling wanting a better film.
