Stanley struggles to become a song-and-dance man as the team grooms him to become a star. But as the date of a high-stakes appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show grows near, they begin to fear that the only astonishing thing about Stanley is his utter lack of talent.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A madcap comedy about a talentless nobody being turned into a manufactured star, where the joke is less about the plot and more about Jerry Lewis falling over himself to prove he's unhireable entertainment. It's a delightful, chaotic romp that winks at showbiz phoniness while celebrating pure, committed silliness.
