★★★★★ · Very funny · Dripper12345 · 2021-04-21
I went into this not expecting mutch, what I got was the core of comedy. A little basic but good, fun humour that is worth a chuckle. I liked it
★★★★★ · What a great movie · Big Hitch · 2022-07-12
I was pleased to see some of Buster's famous gags appear in this film. I had seen them before, but it's even better seeing them within the context of the entire movie. Of course, many of these gags have been redone in comedies that followed in later decades. But they started with Buster!
