What Reviewers Say
- Don Knotts's comedic timing is a highlight, but the film's predictable script and uninspired gags limit its appeal.
- A formulaic sports comedy that struggles to generate genuine laughs or compelling drama.
- The supporting cast, including Elsa Lanchester and Jo Anne Worley, does little to salvage the weak premise.
Google audience: Audience reviews are scarce, but those available suggest the film is a dated and uninspired comedy that relies too heavily on its star's persona without much original material.
