Subscribe FreeFunny Bones is a hilarious and touching comedy about a struggling second-generation stage comedian who returns to the England of his childhood to find the source of humor that made his dad so successful. Suffering from living under the shadow of his superstar father (Jerry Lewis), angst ridden comedian Tommy (Oliver Platt) blows his Las Vegas debut and beats a hasty retreat to his parents native Blackpool. Searching for his roots, he finds a lot more than he bargained for, among other things, his zany half-brother Jack (Lee Evans). Wacky (mis-)adventures ensue as the characters learn what it means to be human and what it means to be funny in this modern day classic rib-tickler.
