Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment announces the DVD release of Martin Scorcese's satirical comedy/drama - The King of Comedy.
A funny thing happens to talk show host Jerry Langford (Jerry Lewis) on his way to the studio.
Kidnapped by aspiring stand-up comedian Rupert Pupkin (Robert De Niro) and his wacky sidekick (Sandra Bernhard), Langford is forced to give Pupkin a shot at the big time by allowing the struggling comic to perform his routine on Langford's show. What unfolds is an incredibly funny and poignant story about the darker side of comedy.
This timeless, unforgettable film with an all-star cast caustically explores the lengths to which a nobody will go to become as famous as his idol.

Review:
One of De Niro's best performances as he plays the ever annoying Mr Pupkin, an untalented wanna be with tv host Jerry Langford (Jerry Lewis). If you missed it at the movies, don't miss it on dvd, it's a great night in.
