steve d ok but not one of their best. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The comedy team's final MGM film is a hodgepodge of comedy skits and musical numbers; not very inspired. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Fairly predictable plot with a few good sketches. The screwball ending would have worked well in a Marx Bros film as well. Find a lap - and have a Ball. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I enjoy Abbott and Costello, but I am not a huge fan of theirs. This is a decent entry into their list of films. Some good gags, most are just okay, and a few clunkers too. Good guest stars Lucille Ball, Butch Jenkins and Robert Z. Leonard are a plus.
