It's just too clear how hard the boys were trying. Go to Full Review Bosley Crowther New York Times 03/25/2006
2.5/5
It drags in some critical phases, it labors in obvious spots and the climax is too manufactured. But there are side-splitting moments in it. Go to Full Review TV Guide 10/23/2007
2/4
Without the talent of Bob Hope this picture would be one dull thud. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 07/26/2006

Hope is in his element, and it is impossible not to be swept along by the enthusiasm of his performance. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kurt L @RT26072734 05/27/2024 20%? I think the whole cast is being robbed. The movie has a timely story and is decently acted and filmed. See more TW D @TwilliamD 07/02/2021 Enjoyable due to Hope and Lamour. Weak story line created just to give Hope the opportunity to be him, which luckily, makes for a decent show. See more 12/12/2010 I really should have written about this movie when I saw it, I remember really liking this movie, but now the summary doesn't sound familiar. I really want to see this movie again, I love Bob Hope. See more 04/07/2010 Hilarious - especially the verbal banter and comments. Bob Hope is always fun and this is no exception. Short, sweet and well worth the time. See more 09/01/2009 Another Hope - Lamour teaming pits them against the Nazis. A must watch. See more 12/04/2005 Wonderful Bob Hope comedy, complete with his usual gags. He is always great fun. Very enjoyable. See more Read all reviews
