True to Abbott and Costello form, this is funny If you like Abbott and Costello, you will like this movie. It is true to form and is funny in the style of that era. It has some slapstick, but not so much so as to be overbearing. When you look back now, the special effects seem quite lame, but that is part of the appeal to me, in the fact that those were what effects looked like in that day.
