Shoddy stuff.

Zany, near surrealistic humor and good musical numbers make pleasant entertainment.

This funny comedy, one of the most popular pictures of 1941, established Abbott and Costello as commercial comedic duo for a decade.

More an assembly of funny sketches, Buck Privates still plays very funny without much of a story behind it.
