        Hope, Crosby and Lamour take their act to Brazil, one liners and in jokes littered behind them like a ticker tape parade. The best part of the Road series: the forays through the fourth wall, the way the films embraced the reality that nothing in the film was real but that we are watching it and that they are doing it. In this one look for The Andrew Sisters and Jerry Cologna in highlighted cameos. All in all, more of the usual fun.

        One of the better Road movies with Crosby and Hope. This one is really funny and enjoyable.
