It's a double dose of Wayne Morris in this college comedy where he plays a dual role, a football hero and his brainy twin, accused of doing things that his jock brother was responsible for. It seems that everybody in their individual social circles has no idea that they have a twin because Morris the brain decides he wants to get into football too, and that causes all sorts of confusion especially when he falls in love with his brother's girlfriend, Virginia Dale.
With character actors like William Frawley, Edgar Kennedy, Walter Catlett, Jerome Cowan and Alan Mowbray, there's obviously going to be lots of laughs even though the plot is absolutely ridiculous. Lillian Cornell gets to sing a few songs. In spite of all of the absurdities, this has a light-hearted atmosphere, as cheery as a pep rally, and it's short enough to get into and enjoy without being overcome by the silliness. Morris does a good job of going in between characters realistically so it's not like he's just playing two characters with the same personality. This may not be the super bowl of football comedies, but there's been a lot worse.
