Chris M 04/17/2024 The first and as far as I know at the time of writing the review the only direct sequel to an Abbott and Costello movie. The pacing of this one is not great, the story is a bit thin even for the shorter runtime. But even the story isn't great, it is good. And the lead characters are good. Overall, it's very good. See more Steve D 06/26/2023 Not as funny as they normally are. See more 12/07/2019 Absolute fantastic sequel! See more bill t @Spuzz 09/22/2013 I dunno, I enjoyed this more than the original. The gags seemed less obvious and repetitve,, and there was a bit more of a story. The little girl thing and the ridiculous overlong ending I could do without, but A and C were razor sharp here, and made the whole thing enjoyable. See more 05/08/2013 A fantastic sequel to Buck Privates that is even better than the original! Hilarious gags, routines and mayhem that makes the duo memorable. I loved it! See more 04/01/2011 This comedy is pretty average for 1947, actually it's pretty corny, and not that funny. Overall, it's okay, not good but not too bad either. See more Read all reviews
