      Francois Truffaut Cahiers du Cinéma The film may give back some confidence to American -- and other -- spectators who are deprived of physical attractiveness by nature. Therein lies the objective of this new comic strategy. May 26, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member another martin & lewis svc comedy Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Come and do the sailor's polka--Jerry and Dean join Uncle Sam,s Canoe Club.. Very episodic and enjoyable!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Martin and Lewis star as a smooth and a whacky sailor always getting into all sorts of trouble. Nice fast pace and good solid rhythm, though this kind of comedy is always more a required taste, and anyone expecting anything that goes beyond the usual little plot should look elsewhere.
