      Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed One of the best horror comedy romps featuring Abbott and Costello... Nov 2, 2014 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid The duo would capitalize on this balance in the later monster movies, but it works just as well here. Nov 14, 2008 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Jul 31, 2005 Full Review Steve Crum Kansas City Kansan One of Bud & Lou's funniest, featuring their classic candle sequence. Rated: 4/5 Dec 27, 2004 Full Review Bob Bloom Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) Not up to the standards of Buck Privates, but it does have its moments.
