Movie Reviews of Bob Hope - Hope for the Holidays
Movie Review: Fast Forward Special
Summary: 2 Stars
I appreciate the work Bob Hope did for the service men and women of our country but his specials were a bore. He was not a comedian who wrote his own material, he just read the cue cards. The humor was, well, pretty bad. The guests on this Christmas show are an interesting lot but are in horrible skits. I found myself fast forwarding halfway through most of the sketches. His family should let people remember him as "funny" instead of releasing this stuff to remind the public he really wasn't.
