It's just too clear how hard the boys were trying.

2.5/5

It drags in some critical phases, it labors in obvious spots and the climax is too manufactured. But there are side-splitting moments in it.

Without the talent of Bob Hope this picture would be one dull thud.

A tedious romp through familiar Hope territory.

Hope is in his element, and it is impossible not to be swept along by the enthusiasm of his performance.

20%? I think the whole cast is being robbed. The movie has a timely story and is decently acted and filmed.

Enjoyable due to Hope and Lamour. Weak story line created just to give Hope the opportunity to be him, which luckily, makes for a decent show.

I really should have written about this movie when I saw it, I remember really liking this movie, but now the summary doesn't sound familiar. I really want to see this movie again, I love Bob Hope.

Hilarious - especially the verbal banter and comments. Bob Hope is always fun and this is no exception. Short, sweet and well worth the time.

Wonderful Bob Hope comedy, complete with his usual gags. He is always great fun. Very enjoyable.
