Slapstick (1982)
Darauf haben die Fans in aller Welt gewartet: Jerry Lewis und Marty Feldman gemeinsam in einer zwerchfellerschütternden Superkomödie! Mit ihrer schier unglaublichen Intelligenz könnten die Zwillinge Wibur und Eliza die schwierigsten Probleme der Welt lösen. Aber die beiden Wunderkinder schaffen es trotz der Fürsorge ihres Butlers Sylvester immer wieder, ein grandioses Fiasko zu inszenieren - und dann auch noch vor einem Millionenpublikum. Da hilft es auch nicht, dass nur die Chinesen ihre wahren Fähigkeiten erkennen, denn sie werden von dem genial-doofen Trio genauso in die Pfanne gehauen, wie der Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten. Die beiden Starkomiker Jerry Lewis und Marty überströmten Publikum Gags a la carte - in einer wahnwitzigen Kombination, die Laurel + Hardy alle Ehre macht.
