| 7M PicturesKevin Carrplays more like a long television show than a feature film, which gives it a level of energy and fun |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonOverall, the big production seems to keep the comedy team on their toes, and, while this never reaches the highs of their best films, it also feels a lot less lazy than their worst efforts. |
| User Reviewrobert dTHE ONLY "FULL"COLOR MOVIE THE TEAM MADE, YET BY THE FIFTY`S BUD`S TIMING BEGAIN SLIPPING ;IF ONLY THIS FILM WERE MADE EARLIER ! |
| User ReviewGreg WAVERAGE ABBOTT AND COSTELLO FILM, MADE WATCHABLE BY THE PRESENCE OF CHARLES LAUGHTON WHO DOES A GREAT JOB AGAIN AS CAPTAIN KID. OTHERWISE VERY ROUTINE. |
| User Reviewjay nTypical fare for the duo enlivened by Laughton. |
| User ReviewBob WMusical comedy hijinks on the high seas aboard the dingy-est pirate ship ever. |
