This movie was recommended to me by a friend, so we watched it together on his DVD player. Yawn. Way too much dialogue, and jokes which have been done 100 times before. Examples include sloppily disguised cherry bombs, pies to the face, chase scenes ceasing so that one of the parties can answer a phone call, etc... etc... I felt rude doing so, but nonetheless I left for bed in the middle of the movie, as I felt myself nodding off anyways.
The film was simply very slow moving for a comedy. They take a normal slapstick style joke, like the crushing of a cream-filled pastry over a man's head, and drag it out so that it takes two minutes to set up and twenty seconds to execute. I would estimate this movie to be about as entertaining as any given Merrie Melodie slowed down to 1/8 speed.
