Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A Jerry Lewis "gem" of a comedy
This one has to be second only to Jerry Lewis' comic masterpiece, "The Nutty Professor". I've watched "The Family Jewels" many times as a kid, and it still hasn't lost its appeal.
Who can resist the wacky premise of having Lewis play several nutty characters running amok on screen? The young Donna Butterworth lends plenty of charm to the tale of an orphaned girl who must choose which one of her uncles she'd like to live with. But it's clearly Lewis' movie all the way as the young girl meets ... Read More
Rating: - Jerry at his best
THE FAMILY JEWELS is my favorite Jerry Lewis movie.

Rating: - funny stuff
I am happy to report that this movie was bought for our 10 year old daughter and she loves Jerry Lewis as much as I did when I was a child. Since she received this movie a few weeks ago, we have watched it about 25 times. It's great that comedy like this stands the test of time.
Rating: - The Magnificent Seven...of Jerry Lewis!
I am truly amazed of the talent Jerry Lewis presented in this 1965 comedy. It is good family fun of which we don't see too much of. I liked the characters. Proud to own this Jerry Lewis classic in my collection! How about it. I thought every one of his characters were MAGNIFICENT!!
Rating: - Its seven Times Jerry
After the Nutty Professor, Jerry Lewis topped himself by playing eight characters in the film The Family Jewels
Donna Butterworth play the orphaned little rich girl, who needs to pick a father from her father's seven brothers (all played by Lewis). Lewis also plays her driver and companion Willard. All this comedy may seem uneven in this farce. Lewis overworks himself trying to balance director, writer and star and it shows on film. However, as uneven as this film is, Lewis still plays this ...
