This is, without question, the worst Bob Hope movie ever. What's even worse is that Bob Hope himself is every bit as bad as the material. To sum it up, Bob Hope plays Tom Meade, a struggling realtor trying to sell a run down house in the woods. His luck seems to change when a major Hollywood actress (Elke Sommer) wants the house to hide out in after a fight with her boyfriend (Cesare Danova, who is rightly embarrassed) whose name in the film is Pepe Pepponi. Along for the ride is Phyllis Diller, who plays his maid, and Marjorie Lord, who comes off somewhat better than the rest of the cast as June Cleaver type wife. The film is filled with wooden acting, dull situations, and truly dumb jokes. As for the car chase at the end, Michael Medved said it best when he said it would bore a high school driving class. Some of this is so bad, it's downright amateurish. It was shocking to see such poor delivery from so many established stars. This is only good for those who like bad movies and those who suffer from insomnia.
