6/10

It’s exceptionally goofy and nonsensical, ending once again with a skit that cuts off too abruptly, but enough of the humor sticks that it’s still modestly entertaining.

Pretty dismal, but containing the 'Who's on first?' routine.

A mixed bag but with some classic bits.

The gags mixed with a great storyline are top notch for their movies.

One of Bud and Lou's funniest flicks (and that's saying something). Not much of a plot but does there need to be?

The best comedy movie ever made! With the best movie quote ever spoken: "Who's on first."

One of their most classic films Abbott and Costello have ever made. With the immortal Who's on First routine. Hilarious and great fun.
