Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine Only once or twice does this loud farce recall the robust flavor of the partners' first big hit. Reconmmended, though, for juveniles and other A & C addicts. Jan 7, 2020 Full Review Steve Crum Video-Reviewmaster.com The beginning of the end for the comedy team, but it does have some hilarious moments. Rated: 3/5 Feb 17, 2008 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Jul 19, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

steve d Perhaps the weakest of the entries. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A & C bring the funny Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Great Abbott and Costello film, though it may not be as perfect as some of their other films it's still pretty good and very funny. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member An amusing effort which isn't too far off the mark from Laurel and Hardy's superior 'Bonnie Scotland' (1935). Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad but a weaker one thus far. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member In this film Bud and Lou get there first taste in being outside the US, Its comical to see what wasn't political correct in these days. The are on a quest to find a wrestler who broke his contract and left New York for his home tribe in Algiers. Comedy is there but again not like some of there other films. 3 stars Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
