IMDB

Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey are insurance salesman who talk their way into helping a woman run a hotel. They quickly turn the business around due to their high security safe. With such a safe it isn't long before some hoodlums come to rob their high-profile clientele of their valuables.
I'm becoming a big and fast fan of Wheeler and Woolsey. They're completely off-the-wall. This wasn't as funny as the other few movies of theirs, but it still had some great moments. Unlike the Marx Bros. I don't mind the musical numbers of Wheeler and Woolsey, in Diplomaniacs it was the best part. It was disappointing to find this film without a musical number at all. Regardless, this was a funny movie and well-worth watching.

8/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
