Movie Reviews of Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy

Movie Review: abbot and costello meet the mummy
Summary: 1 Stars

Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummythis is a terrible movie. the dialogue was inane, the slapstick was idiotic, drawn out and repetitive and the acting so wooden to the point where the only reason this sorry excuse for a movie was made was to capitalize and profit on the abbot and costello name. as opposed to the top quality of the characters, plot and monsters found in "abbot and costello meet frankenstein", this cheap rip-off doesn't even have a decent mummy character or any talented actors and special effects for that matter. if you must see this movie check it out from the library. buying or renting it is a waste of money.

Summary of Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy

Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 08/22/2006 Run time: 90 minutes Rating: Nr

After 15 years of hit movies for Universal Studios, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello left the studio in the twilight of their partnership with the last of their monster comedies. Decked out in desert safari gear, the boys go looking for a job with an Egyptologist and wind up in the middle of a conspiracy concerning the murdered professor, an ancient mummy, and a magical medallion that, true to form, bumbling Costello manages to eat for dinner. Marie Windsor, the boss lady of a gang of treasure hunting crooks, dresses in a harem outfit to vamp for our chubby little hero, and the eternally stiff Richard Deacon hilariously plays the leader of an Egyptian mummy cult like a high school principal decked out for Halloween. Directed by longtime collaborator Charles Lamont, it's a typical Abbott and Costello farce with disappearing corpses, mistaken identities, and wacky word plays ("Take your pick" riffs on "Who's on first" with garden tools). While not as clever or spirited as their original monster mash Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, the vaudeville veterans are still masters of the double take and fast-talk patter, and the picture climaxes with a screwball chase that involves not one, not two, but three mummies skittering through the phoniest looking pyramid this side of community theater. You were expecting realism? The boys appeared together once more on film, in Dance with Me, Henry, and then split up. --Sean Axmaker
