3/10
a lousy film that seems to be written for kids--adults will find it tough to sit through.

This is, perhaps, one of the worst and most unfunny Abbott and Costello films. Not only does the team look old and bored, but overall there is hardly any energy about the film. And, unlike films such as Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, this movie would ONLY appeal to younger kids. Any sane adult would be annoyed by the amateurish quality of this film. It's pretty sad that the funniest(?) part of the film is everyone mistaking Costello ("Orville") with Dr. Orvilla--wow, that's funny.

Our haggard team actually never even makes it to Mars but lands on an Amazon-infested Venus. Apparently, these women must have been VERY horny and lonely to have found either of these two irresistible. I'm feeling really tired and bored just thinking about it.

I think this film has a respectable score on IMDb mostly because there are a lot of Abbott and Costello fans. While some of there films are pretty good, perhaps their love of the team may be coloring their ratings somewhat. A case in point is that this movie is not that different than CAT-WOMEN OF THE MOON and yet its overall IMDb score is half this film. Abbott and Costello have definitely done better.
