edwagreen They really can't come more dreadful than this 1966 film. Jerry Lewis and crew are literally out of space with this one. Our government wants a married couple to be at the moon following an embarrassing situation between an American and Russian woman in outer space.The picture might have been funnier had Lewis married the woman assigned to him when Connie Stevens temporarily bowed out of the picture. The woman was domineering and actually thought what she was doing was a service for America. Instead, Stevens bails in and the picture goes from downhill to the most absurd imaginable.In space, the two are soon joined by Dick Shawn and Anita Ekberg, two Russian space people who proceed to get everyone drunk. Believe it or not, this is not very funny at all.As the space commander on earth, Robert Morley does have some brief funny moments as the overwhelmed guy in this awful situation.

nickrogers1969 I love crazy sixties films and this is one of them. I'm not a Jerry Lewis fan but I thought he was funny, not over the top or exaggerating. Connie Stevens is very cute in the American girl next door kind of way.Anita Ekberg surprised me. It was so bizarre that this La Dolce Vita star would team up with Jerry Lewis but she did, and it proves she was a good comedienne too. In this film she's a brunette (awful hairdo, tho) and looks not a little like Garbo! The poor thing has to wear bathing suits the entire film. Robert Morley is in it too and is as lovable British as ever. He could make any part he played lively and fun. James Brolin and Linda Harrison (Planet of the Apes) are in it too, as is Dennis Weaver. The special effects are quite good for 1966 and quite camp for today. The title tune by Lalo Schifrin is catchy. I saw this on a German DVD in English with the soundtrack at times changing to German at times. Really bizarre to see Jerry Lewis in space in German!

Matthew James Brown Way...Way Out is an interesting movie. It pokes fun at the cold war, the military, the Russians(Soviets)and the whole space race!!! Some may say that poking fun at these things is irreverant. But I say that you have to look at the context. In this case the irreverance is fair, completely fair. I say this because Way...Way Out, pokes fun at everyone involved. Way...Way Out is an excellent comedy.

jmg38 Saw this as a teen first time it hit TV - and laughed nearly all the way. Many good lines that stand the test of time (you should hear what she wanted to do last night) as well as usual over-the-top performance from Lewis and (more so) from Shawn.Some of the humour is based on the very REAL socio-political situation with the space race and the cold war, so younger viewers might not always "get it". Too bad. You should still get enough from the rest of the lines. Movie wasn't meant to be "camp" in original release, but should gain somewhat due to campy appearance from a late 90's perspective.Rent it - have some laughs - and "soap (yourself) all over".
