Oliver Platt stars as a struggling comic who is upstaged by his legendary comic father (played by Jerry Lewis). Fleeing Las Vegas in shame, Platt goes to the small seaside English village where he spent the first six years of his life, finds out some dirty secrets about dear old dad, and learns the meaning of true comedy, Brit style. An endearing sleeper that deserves a larger audience. (R. Pitman)[Blu-ray/DVD Review—Sept. 19, 2017—Kino Lorber, 128 min., R, DVD: $14.95, Blu-ray: $29.95—Making its latest appearance on DVD and debut on Blu-ray, 1995's Funny Bones features a great transfer and a DTS-HD 5.1 soundtrack on the Blu-ray release. Extras include audio commentary by director Peter Chelsom, and a clip of director Chelsom and star Lee Evans (3 min.). Bottom line: a ‘90s indie charmer shines on Blu-ray.]
