DVD review of The King of Comedy (1982), starring Jerry Lewis, Robert Deniro

Jerry Lewis‘ The King of Comedy is not the typical Jerry Lewis movie. It’s not a comedy. It’s not for the children. It is a very dark comedy (although rated PG). The King of Comedy looks at the behind-the-scenes life of Jerry Langford. Played straight, and brilliantly, by Jerry Lewis. He’s a talk-show host seemingly similar to Jay Leno or David Letterman.
