Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good Jerry Lewis fare for everyone!
How can Jerry Lewis be a babysitter for a Hollywood starlet? This is the question you will find out when you watch this 1958 classic comedy. Jerry is a TV repairman when he receives the startling news that he is about to be a babysitter of TRIPLETS! I laughed out loud when I watched this on my DVD/Video player. You will enjoy every minute of this Jerry Lewis comedy from nearly 50 years ago!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My favorite of the Lewis comedies
What really sets this movie apart from most Jerry Lewis comedies is the script by the master of the screwball comedy, Preston Sturges. The snappy dialogue and unexpected plot turns- all characteristic of Sturges- compliment Jerry's typical slapstick performance, and add a dimension not seen in many of his other films. In fact, even those who aren't particualrly fond of Lewis might like this one.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Classic Jerry Lewis At His Best
Rock A Bye Baby is a great classic comedy. As a child I remember my father recording it from the television and watching it commercials and all every few weeks. I love the music and the hilarious comedy throughout this film. I am so glad to have a commercial free, clear copy of this movie. I highly recommend it to any comedy lover. Great for individuals and families to view together.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Can't wait for DVD, waited years for VHS
This is one of my favorites. I had seen it many years ago as a kid, and it made quite an impression. For several years I kept track of it on the internet to see when it would be available on VHS, and now I am doing the same thing regarding DVD. Not only is Jerry Lewis hilarious as a "mother in training", but I enjoyed Connie Stevens as a "sweet girl next door" who knows what or rather who she wants.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - An Early Solo Classic from Jerry Lewis
Long before "Mr. Mom" or "Kramer vs. Kramer", Jerry Lewis made a great argument for fathers to have as much say in the raising and nurturing of their children as mothers. This delightful comedy (with just enough drama added in for good measure) is about a man who goes beyond expectation to care for three baby girls who are left at his doorstep.

Moreover, this is not merely a comedy, but a musical, with songs that deserve the right to be as well remembered as any from "The Wizard of ... Read More
