A very bad movie, 24 June 2000
1/10
Author: aarongilesbrown from Oakwheat, Kansas

I'm sorry to offend anyone, but this movie has only two funny scenes:1.Milton Berle and Terry-Thomas in a fist fight. 2.Buddy Hacket and Mickey Rooney in an airplane. The slapstick is poorly done, it gives many great comedians next to nothing to do, it has hardly any funny lines, it's a hour too long, and Ethel Merman's character is totally annoying and unfunny. If you want to watch a funny slapstick movie, rent a Laurel and Hardy movie instead.
