Another movie that incorporates a large cast of famous major stars and it is still terrible. This is supposed to be a comedy, but it is mind-numbingly dull, and we don't even know what the point of it all is.
Bob Hope and Jane Wyman play a long-married couple who get in each others' way, and they mutually agree to a divorce without complications. But trouble comes when their daughter visits them with a man she wishes to marry-and the parents hide their divorce from them. On top of that, the man is a son of a highly cynical, selfish record producer (a miscast Jackie Gleason) who does not believe in marriage and wants his son not to marry, but travel with a hippie band, despite the son's interest in classical music.
This had the makings of a screwball comedy, but the laughs aren't there, and everyone seems in a hurry to get things over with. No surprise; the whole movie feels unpleasant rather than amusing.

I was embarrassed for Bob Hope and Jane Wyman. They are much better actors than the movie allowed them to be. Ridiculous characters and a very unlikeable Jackie Gleason.

With a star studded cast featuring Hope, Wyman, and Gleason, you would probably think that it would be a good movie right? Wrong. This is a very immature, clumsy, and amaturish production, that should've never came into existance. The first twenty minutes, with a better script, and it being streched maybe 70 minutes or so more, would've made a much better film than this run down, obviouse, and painfully unfunny formulaic comedy. Almost all of the jokes are flat, the situations are annoying, and tiresome, and the characters are idiotic, and a swift kick to the cranium. You would think as a genuine comedic talent, Hope would've known that this crap was miles away from being even close to a chuckle. Gather up some bad writing, acting, scenes featuring a cult leader, that not only resembles bin-laden, but only knows how to say "yes". A pointless scene involving Hope playing golf with a monkey, topped off with bad music by this hipsterish band named "The Comfortable Chair", and you have the worst Bob Hope film to close a decade. I hated this film.
