This film was on HBO a lot when I was a kid in high school. Oddly enough I have never seen it from beginning to end until today. Thank you to the Warner Archive, I finally have this 'lost' film on DVD. Not much of a plot here other than the main character Warren visiting his psychiatrist. But the laughs and gags come very rapidly. A ton of skits, loosely linked together with some great running gags. Even though I love this movie, I readily admit that half of these gags are misses and some run too long. Lewis is brilliant in this film, showing off physical comedy along with a fantastic dance number. Watch it, give it a chance. I'd be surprised if you do not laugh!

A misfit visits a shrink. Off the wall comedy with a hundred gags.
