Funny Bones key art

Comedy. It's in the timing. It's in the material. But mostly, it's in the bones.

Funny Bones is entertaining and absorbing for what it is. But what it isn't could have really been something.

A comedy that strikes me as an unmitigated disaster but which has apparently attracted a small coterie of ardent fans.

The story is hilarious and touching.

Odd drama about eccentric show biz family, featuring Jerry Lewis in rare dramatic role.
