When I was a kid I just loved Abbott & Costello as well as Laurel & Hardy. In spite of Stan and Ollie being well in advance of Bud and Lou they are still head and shoulders above them in terms of comedy. Bud and Lou have aged very badly and what I once thought was hilarious is just embarrassing now. Their best routines were , I think, on their TV shows and stage shows. It often does not work on film. The writers of this exploitative schlock churned out film after film of stomach churning awfulness, doing the stars who appeared in them no favours. There has to be some kind of reality in comedy and many of Bud & Lou's movies had no basis in reality at all.This "Mars" outing has little to recommend it to their fans.
