Scary funny

In this intense film, I had to be careful that me the conviction with which Mel Gibson the completely loopy Jerry Fletcher plays, not even overtaken at some point. Gibson, an acknowledged fan of the "Three Stooges", makes his Jerry to slapstick and cartoon character, continuously nonsense talking, frantically gesticulating, with constantly entgleisender expression and at the same time - this is really a performance - is Jerry the anrührenste and in his innocent , sincere and faithful love to the woman of his dreams, lovable sociopath in film history since Cary Grant in Capra's Arsenic and Old Lace.
