This is probably one of the worst films ever made based on an amazing book by a master in 20th century literature!! Kurt Vonnegut's SLAPSTICK is a tour de force in literary science fiction and humorous satire...and the latter day, slipping quickly into showbiz irrelevance Jerry Lewis, apparently not long after making a film so bad, The Day The Clown Cried, that even HE has had it permanently locked away FOREVER...he decided to "redeem himself" by trashing a Kurt Vonnegut classic novel!! So the "joke" of this awful film is that it's based on about 5% of the book (and Lewis's take in that 5%!!), so if you even saw the film, then read the book, you'd probably say, WTF WAS THAT (in reference to the garbage 2 hours that was stolen from your life!!)??? Without belaboring the point, please please please, don't waste your precious time on this steaming pile of infected feces...read the book, and feel for the soul of the great Madeline Kahn, who somehow got roped into this dog and maybe (maybe!!) had something to do with her sad untimely demise (prob not, but I'd like to think so!!)!! Hopefully Jerry Lewis is now somewhere in Hell doing schtick for a bored Hitler & Stalin for this, the clown thing, and a bunch of his other later crappy flicks!!!
