I was not familiar with these comedians until now and this is the only movie I've seen in the series. I would have thoroughly enjoyed watching them in the 60's in my youth but the comedy is slapstick and more suitable for young kids and the nostalgia crowd. I will admit that there were some very amusing scenes even for someone like me in their golden years. Interestingly, the other reviews were mixed, some saying this was the best in the series and others saying it was the worst. I would classify this humor closest to Benny Hill.
