"The Jerk ... is by turns funny, vulgar and backhandedly clever, never more so than when it aspires to absolute stupidity." - Janet Maslin, The New York Times
Hailed as one of the funniest movies of all time, The Jerk stars Steve Martin as Navin Johnson, the adopted son of a poor black sharecropping family in Mississippi. When he learns that the world is a much bigger place than he'd ever imagined, Navin sets out on a quest to find his "special purpose." His adventures lead him to encounter a would-be assassin, jobs in carnivals and gas stations, a life-saving dog, romance with the girl of his dreams and more money than he could ever spend. But his life in the clouds may come crashing down when the source of his new fame and fortune creates disastrous side effects.

"You mean I'm going to stay to color" had me rolling on the floor laughing
They loved Navin so much like he was their own.
One of the funniest movies of all time. Momma took us to see this in the theater. I remember asking “whats a blow job?” In the middle of the theater. Why did my Mom take us as kids!?? LOL AHHH how I loved THE seventies.
Ah, the 70's! When anything without nudity or F bombs was rated PG and thus totally fine for children. Which is why I was lucky enough to be able to see the Jerk, 9 to 5, and Blazing Saddles all in the theater.
Classic lmao 🤣 you mean I going stay this color
tuna fish with twinkies and a tab !
When I first saw this in the theater when it came out, folks were obviously laughing at Steve Martin's line "I'm gonna stay this color?!?!" But I was more struck by the thought that this black family saw NO COLOR and loved him as their own child. That love will never regard race or blood as anything but a footnote, but character makes you a loved family member. Though played for laughs, the notion is itself beautiful. i guess I read too much into it. LOL
I felt the same about that, still do. These scenes are so funny, yet at the same time, the loving acceptance of his adoptive family is so sweet. These scenes with the family feel so heartwarming and wholesome, on top of being truly funny. Love that sweet momma. I wish she was my mom!
hear hear!
@@mikeegbert6584I always wondered if subconsciously Steve Martin was talking about the colour of his hair
Yeah but maybe poking fun at all of it was a way to send that message...
This is how I see black folks. I love you cus you are made of love. Be good to the world even if they aren't.
How about not seeing a large group of people as a monolith lmao
If only they were all like this. 🙄
@@highdefinition450 Why? This family was so supportive and kind to him. If you wanna use a loving black family as an example, this would be it.
This is hilarious. But it also makes me think of the babies of color raised by white families in predominately white communities and makes me sad. Hope they ask have families as supportive as this.
We would be screwed if it wasn’t for such people…..of all Colors.
@@zalix512 The truth.
Eminem is not music!
What??
