Paramount
Directed by Hal Walker
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 5
IMDb
(HD-DVD, BCI Eclipse)
Juvenile comedy from a couple of middle aged comedy legends. Bing and Bob stumble around various exotic Paramount sets with Dorothy Lamour. The jokes are never funny and are marginally offensive. In particular, their skirt chasing antics have misogynistic tendencies. Dorothy is purely an object of lust, and when Bob loses her to Bing he just conjures up Jane Russell as a replacement, as if Dorothy never existed. Among other eye-rolling attempts at comedy are a talking volcano, a chimp wearing a mask of Bob's face, a female gorilla that falls in love with Bing... you get the idea. They frequently break the fourth wall and talk directly to the audience. It's just plain embarrassing.
