Audience Member Movie is atomic bomb. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This film despite its subject matter & not so funny humor I found myself enjoying the film even though it's rather silly. The story of two men accidentally stumbling across an A-Bomb test site & Mickey Rooney is in the dummy test home eating a peanut butter sandwich which the nuclear blast happens. The first 2/3's of the film are funny & entertaining but the last 1/3 tries to hard to go for laughs & fizzles out. Great for a film buff but ultimately a little silly but strangely charming. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
