4.0 out of 5 stars Powell will Wow & Skelton will Tickle the Funny Bone, But.., January 8, 2003

This review is from: I Dood It [VHS] (VHS Tape)

...it is not a completec lassically great film. Although it is very high entertainment. Eleanor Powell does a fantastic scene opener with the Jimmy Dorsey Band and background singers as a lasso-ing tap dancing cowgirl. This scene will leave one begging for more as it is daring, fast, and ahead of it's time. Red Skelton plays her admirer and soon finds himself marrying her. It's all silly fluff, but it never hurts to watch it and laugh and be entertained.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not great, October 5, 2010

This review is from: I Dood It (DVD)

I really like most of Red Skelton's pictures (The Fuller Brush Man is my favorite) and I have never seen Eleanor Powell be anything less than spectacular, but I couldn't really get into this picture. It is good, and well worth watching, but it is not the best that either star produced. Many of Eleanor's routines are recycled (including the "battleship" dance which is lifted intact from "Born to Dance") and Red didn't seem to be trying. I got the feeling that they needed to put out a picture and this is what they came up with. Funny, yes, worth watching, yes, wonderful and great, sadly no. It is far superior to any comedy that has been put out in recent years but it still lacking something that keeps it from being top-notch.
