Movie Reviews of Abbott and Costello: The Complete Universal Pictures Collection
Movie Review: good, clean, family laughs
Summary: 4 Stars
I treated myself to this box set because I love Abbott and Costello and the price was amazingly low through Amazon. Over the years and now recently, thanks to Youtube, I've been able to show my wife and kids the laugh riot that is Abbot and Costello. Now, it's even better because we own the 28 movies and extras that comprise this box set. We can sit down and enjoy a classic comedy like Buck Privates or Follow That Ghost any time we want. Great bits and skits, and jokes. The only thing I could do without (especially in the early movies) is the singing. The early movies typically have 3 to 4 songs. I don't need to see Martha Raye or the Andrews Sisters or any of the other crooners. They just slow the action/comedy down. That's just my opinion. Others may like the 1940's period/era songs.
If you enjoy Abbott and Costello movies, this is a must have. I'm glad I took the plunge. I'd also recommend getting Jack and The Beanstalk. It's not included in the box set but it is very, very funny.
