"Jumping Jacks" is an okay time killer. It has a few laughs and a few smiles but nothing very memorable. I enjoy Jerry Lewis (I saw him perform at Westbury (NY) Music Fair when he was ninety years old. It was a fun show.) and Dean Martin. But I enjoy them separately. As team, at least in their movies, they also fall flat with me. "Jumping Jacks" is better than their other movies but that's not saying much. "Jumping Jacks" has a good story and the supporting cast is likeable. It does have some funny moments but from some reason the movie started to feel long. And then it felt even longer. It should have been fifteen minutes shorter.

It's a great sorrow and continual grief in my heart to say this picture was miles away from the best pictures of the remarkable duo Lewis and Martin, sadly I have to confess even I'm a big fan of Jerry Lewis, it disappointed me entirely, the plot is unplugged and complex, nothing making sense at all, Dino singing along the movie is worst on those old fashionable and awful songs, even on those fancy sets, not enough romance allowed, just few scenes with Mona Freeman, they concentrated forces on military exercises and parachutes jumps, a sort of Army propaganda, has a minimal funny scenes which can be counted on the fingers of a single hand, the few number of votes at IMDB and rare reviews can justify such veracity, also almost all movies from Jerry Lewis were dubbed in Brazil and curiously it wasn't, why?? It's too easy explainable, the picture wasn't enough good!! Resume: First watch: 2019 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 6.

So, Martin & Lewis came out near the end of the slapstick comedy era. They were the last of the great classic comedians, that grew out of vaudeville and kept the sub-genre of the slapstick comedy alive for 50 years. In the silent era of film, you had the likes of, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd. In the 1930s and 40s, it was names like, Laurel and Hardy, the Marx Brothers, The Three Stooges and Abbott and Costello, who reigned as kings on the slapstick stage. Martin and Lewis would debut in the movie theaters in 1949 and dominated the 1950s. But, by 1956 (oddly enough the same year that Abbott and Costello broke up), Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis called it quits. This left the decaying bones of the slapstick sub-genre to low-budget films, mostly made by the aged Three Stooges, Jerry Lewis' solo career and a small resurgence of new comedians on television, that kept the sub-genre alive until its untimely death in the 1970s. This film is a textbook example of what a great Martin and Lewis film looked like. Dean and Jerry were huge in the 1950s. They had crowds show up to their Atlantic City, New Jersey shows, like Elvis was in town. They were big in the movies and on television. This film follows the same formula, that the old Abbott and Costello war films were like. The difference with this one was the Korean War was going on and it was a different attitude in the 1950s. They weren't trying to sell war bonds, so much as, just make a comedy about basic training and war games. Dean (as Chick Allen), is a corporal in the Army, who is part of the para-troopers and also used to do a nightclub act back in the states. In a desperation move to put on a great show, he asks for the assistance of his old fellow performer, Jerry (as Hap Smith), which unfortunately ends in Hap getting pulled into training camp and becoming, accidently, a para-trooper himself. It is hilarious watching Hap, who has no business being near the Army, get through this film without getting himself killed. Dean throws in some great songs and this film is a classic in a sub-genre still at its peak. 7.3 (C+ MyGrade) = 7 IMDB.

This is certainly not Martin & Lewis' best film outing. Far from it. The plot is simple -- Lewis (a civilian) is pressured to help put on a stage show for paratroopers, but then has to remain in the army or face being shot as a spy who sneaked on base. This is more Jerry Lewis' film than Dean Martin's, but I couldn't help but think as the film progressed, that had you taken Dean out of all the scenes, what would be left? Mugging. In fact, that's about all Jerry Lewis does in this film --muggs and makes obnoxious noises. Dean has a couple of good numbers. "The Parachute Jump" didn't rate a Capitol recording, but it's a nice production number and Dean does it well (and why wasn't it recorded on Capitol? It's not a love song!). Similarly, "The Big Blue Sky" is another militarily-themed production number, not suitable for a Capitol release, but features a rather nice vocal performance by Dean. "I Know A Dream When I See One" is a more traditional love song by Dean. And "Keep A Little Dream Handy" is a nice Martin & Lewis duet. Both Dean and Jerry pretty much follow their film traditions here. Dean is clearly the straight man, while Jerry does far too much mugging. Robert Strauss was probably born to play an army sergeant, and he's entertaining to watch. Other supporting actors include Don DeFore (9 years before his best known role in television's "Hazel"). It's nice to see Ray Teal, so often a supporting actor in Westerns (and in "Bonanza" as the sheriff). Parts of the movie were filmed at Fort Benning in Georgia, and you can learn a bit about paratroopers and their training in the somewhat silly film action. All in all, this may be Martin & Lewis's most forgettable film. Probably more for the audiences of the early 50s than today.

Starting in 1949 and through the early 1950s, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis made 16 films together. Their match-up is the familiar one of comedy teams. A straight man, who often gets the gal, and a goof-up, klutz or clown. So, we had had Laurel and Hardy, Crosby and Hope, and Martin and Lewis. This is one of the earlier Martin-Lewis comedies. As with most of their films, Dean's singing and their comedy routines play in the plot. So, we get a little singing and dancing along with a wacky story of sorts. After Chick (Martin) goes in the Army, Hap Smith (Lewis) finds himself a female partner for a new show. But before they can get launched in the big time, Chick calls for help that only Hap can provide. So, he sneaks on base to help with a show for the troops. Well, it's not hard to imagine what happens from there on. The base is a fictitious one, of course, but for this one Paramount did some film shooting at Ft. Benning, GA, and the Army parachute school. While this and similar films still bring a chuckle here and there, they don't seem as funny as they must have been to audiences in the mid- 20th century. I remember watching these in theaters as a youngster. Slapstick can still be good and very funny, but I think the comedy with actors completely changing their voices was a phase from that period that hasn't lasted. This film is OK for some laughs and the music and comedy. The rest of the cast provide nice support for the two leads.

Very unrealistic and a bad outing for Martin and Lewis. A couple of funny scenes but plot makes no sense. What kind of a show can be put on in military compound that looks like a Broadway show with a "stage" thats goes on and on. No way could that first musical number fit on a real stage. And the impersonation of a Paratrooper by Lewis is inane. Martin meets Mona Freeman and in one scene they're in love and want to get married.!!!! Fantasy pure and simple although its all meant to be REAL. Stupid, stupid stupid.
