I have to be honest and say they are all dreadful. The slapstick is painful to watch and the verbal jokes unfunny.

I love Laurel and Hardy and was really hoping for something similar. Abbott and Costello aren't similar, they don't deserve to be in the same sentence as Stan and Olly.

Somewhere under all the 'laughs' there might be half decent Universal monster movies in one or two of them, but in my opinion, and it is only my opinion, the films waste Karloff, Chaney etal.

Encore!!
