The Jerk - 1979

Likable dimwit Navin Johnson runs on a misadventure in this comedy classic which takes him from rags to riches and back to rags again after discovering he's not really black like the others of his family. Even the encounter that is slap-happy strikes it rich, but life in the fastlane isn't all it's cracked up to be and, in the long run is the real love.
