Slow build up but a feast by the end - Funny Bones review by AM
Under the category "Comedy", it starts pretty gruesomely, but there are some very funny scenes. It is less comedy than a film about father-son dynamics. Jerry Lewis is brilliant, and there is a big dose of suspense as well. Lee Evans is not my favourite comic but here he has a part with real depth and darkness, which he rises to really well.
