I grew up in Indiana, but forgotten about watching this on HBO as a kid. The first time I drove through the Holland Tunnel, in Weehawhen, NJ, I remembered this movie.

I love Foster Brooks. Nobody can play a drunk better than him! After having been around real drunks, I can say how authentic he is!

And for 5 years or so, I worked with his son at Lackland AFB, Texas, Foster, Jr. that went by the name of Dick. I didn’t even know he was his son until I saw his obituary and just thought the first name was a coincidence. He was a retired MSgt that worked repairing equipment in the fitness centers.

It captured the essence of flying Spirit Air.

I would say this pretty much represents modern air travel, but at least they have more leg room.

Weehawken is in NJ right across from Manhattan, on the Hudson river. It's old NJ, back when it was a grittier industrial powerhouse. Booming middle class growth and mobility. Giant. Jerry captures the spirit of that time in this film.

Jerry Lewis.....the Best

Ah! So this is where Spirit Airlines got their business plan from! Hey, hey Sam Chui! Review this!

MANY years ago i was in a store called Audio Video Plus on Waugh dr. in Houston that had basically EVERY damn THING ever released on VHS. I saw the movie Cracking Up and had never heard of it. I went up to check it out and the two dudes looked at each other and said to each other "Jolly Fats Weehawkin " with a laugh. The movie is terrible of course but it has some funny stuff. I copied and edited the thing down to about 12 minutes of solid laughs with my vhs copyright eliminator setup circa late 80's. I just threw that tape out a last year.

This is the only "good" part of the movie as I recall. Still sticks with me.

Notice that money never changed hands when he bought a "ticket?" Technically, he got a free flight. And his money's worth.

1960's comedy didn't translate to 1980's entertainment very smoothly here.

Saw it once on HBO. Horrible movie, but this was the only thing that worked.

I can’t imagine that people actually thought this was funny back in the day?

This is one of the stupidest movies I ever saw, but never boring and I actually laughed myself half to death. Jerry Lewis’ character also plays three other people and the main character always driving different cars. A Ford Mustang 2, an early 80’s Mazda, and 1969-1970 Ford station wagon among them.
