BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
rinterrante-1 This is one of Bob Hope's bad 60's comedy efforts. I found it to be nothing more than an over blown average sit-com episode. The first two thirds of the movie is him throwing out one liners at Elke Sommer, making wise cracks and exchanging barbs with Phylis Diller. The last third of the movie is nothing more than silly 60's slapstick and typical car chase fare. To those who found the movie kinky I saw it as no worse than any other bedroom farce for it's time. It's Bob playing the happy married middle class man with a pretty wife and kids getting into an atypical situation with a sexy woman. Now that's original. Now any movie with Elke Sommer can't be all that bad. So I vote 10 stars for her and minus 8 for the movie.
BumpyRide I stumbled upon this "gem" over my lunch break. Now not having seen the first half of the movie, I could follow along without a problem. The strangest thing in this movie is Marjorie Lord's red freight wig! Her "hair" reminded me of the big red furry monster in Bugs Bunny cartoons. All Marjorie was missing were tennis shoes and she and the monster could double date. Bob Hope is always Bob Hope (Gee, I wonder why he never received an Oscar?) but Phyllis is always good for a few laughs-what's up with her hair too? Elke is, well, nice to look at I suppose, but this movie has more fluff than the lint in my dryer basket! Combine this along with the worst hairdo's that I've ever seen(on the screen anyway) and you can save yourself the frustration of sitting through this bomb-o-rooney!
Brian Washington I remember seeing this one for the first time when I was a kid and didn't get it. However, as I got older I thought this was one of Bob Hope's best latter day efforts. Probably the best part of the film is the climatic chase scene. That to me was probably one of the funniest in the movie. Phyllis Diller also did a great job playing Tom's maid/sparring partner. Her portrayal of that character helped to really make this film fun to watch. Elke Sommer is also good as D.D., the temperamental sex symbol who wants to do more than take bubble baths. Also, check out the interrogation scene. That one is priceless as Hope does his best imitation of a mad killer.
patrickdc202 This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. What strikes me about this flick is that I watched it with not only my parents (early 60s) but also my three sisters and two brothers, whose ages range from late 30s to early 40s, and we were all howling with laughter over it.It is one of those campy movies that it so chock full of clever innuendos and suggestive 'adult material' but is so witty in its presentation.In my opinion, Bob Hope & Phyllis Diller were destined to work together. Phyllis Diller's witty and barbed remarks traded with her "boss" Bob Hope were just too outrageous: ...Doorbell rings: Bob Hope: Wasn't that the doorbell? Phyllis: Could be...it had a familiar ring to it. Bob Hope: Aren't you going to answer it? Phyllis: Me?Bob Hope berates her for her laziness as a Maid and Phyllis answers the bell and rejoins him in the kitchen, where she resumes sipping her coffee.Phyllis: Two boys to see you, Master. Bob Hope: Didn't they say who they were? Phyllis: Look, I answered the door didn't I? Bob Hope: Yes, but you didn't keep on GOING!Loved this sweet film!!!
