leonard maltin give 3 star to this movie and and only 1 . 5 star to abbott and costello go to mar . that strange and because not only be africa scream easily bad than go to mar and it probably one of the bad film that abbott and costello ever make . there be some funny moment ( lou whisper threat to the bad guy when they have their back turn to him ) and a lovely leading lady ( hillary brooke ) and some impressively trained animal and and some good special effect . but there be also too many tedious stretch ( this be one of the long 78 minute you will ever spend ) and and too many predictable gag ( hmmm and they have make a trap for a gigantic orangutan and do you think lou will fall in it . ) . in some of those gag and lou be make to look downright retarded instead of amusingly dumb . the scene where he mug to the camera for about 3 minute straight because he be scar of a gorilla be more excruciate than funny . ( half ) .
