Watching Mittens is like watching water drip.

I've seen most of his films.
It seems like Jerry Lewis was always trying to "play it funny." It seemed forced.
Most comic actors I've seen interviewed say the worst thing you could do is to try to be funny, and that they treat the lines the same way a dramatic actor would.

He did such a wonderful job with "America The Beautiful"

(17,199 posts)7. He's just so off
Off-key
Off message
Off-putting
And as a candidate, he's been just AW-FUL!
