5.0 out of 5 stars One of their best movies, March 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Abbott & Costello: Lost in Alaska [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Watch Lost in Alaska and you will find out why these guys were called the Kings of Comedy. Abbott and Costello try to help their new-found friend reunite with his true love and recover his Gold. They end up careening out of control across Alaska on the world's fastest dog sled and getting into all kinds of trouble.

Lost in Alaska contains some of Abbott and Costello's most clever comedy routines that you won't see in their other movies. Just the part where Costello battles with an alarm clock is worth the price of the video.

And of course there are some of those ridiculous situations that could only work in an Abbott and Costello movie - like an igloo with a kitchen sink and a giant slingshot that launches frozen fish.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Gem in the Snow, May 9, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Abbott & Costello: Lost in Alaska [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Underrated Abbott and Costello film which concerns the boys going to Alaska to assist a firned. Wittier than other entries, maybe because longtime A+C scribe John Grant did not pen the screenplay, and makes very good use of Alaskan locales

3.0 out of 5 stars Amusing slapstick from days gone by, November 17, 1999

This review is from: Abbott & Costello: Lost in Alaska [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie is not considered one of A&C's best but I thought it was very funny. Some of the gags are awfully childish but there are some big laughs here. I love the scene where Costello tries to eat the whale meat. Maybe it was second rate in its day, but seems like a classic now.
