schwa-5

Basically just the first paragraph of any wikipedia entry. Everything is like, "he was last seen drowning in the ocean.... But did he really drown..... Or was is something more sinister. Chinese submarine? Aliens? Sentient yogurt?". You get the idea.

Looking at the stellar ratings for this 40's comedy, I thought I check it out. I kept waiting for it to become funny. It doesn't. It just lies there like day old potato salad. William Demarest (uncle Charlie from My 3 Sons) is old and grouchy as usual. Man was this guy ever young? The timeline makes no sense and the characters are all annoying. Also 1940's code is so repressively evident that it just comes across as idiotic, even adjusting for 1940 sensibilities.

Rent "Bringing up Baby" or "His Girl Friday" instead.
