Road to Bali (movie)

Road to Bali is one of the most "Sketchy" movies I have ever seen. Up there with anything Monty Python has done. And just as funny.

There's not a lot to say about it, though. It is obvious that they had a lot of fun making it. It's full of jokes, most of them small, and has a very good singer (Bing Crosby) who likes to show off his talent. Bob Hope can sing pretty good too. It is irreverent humor at its best, mostly plotless, but that doesn't hardly matter.

Ok, it doesn't matter at all. That's not the point. The plot arcs are barely connected threads of thought. If that bothers you, then you will miss out.

Watch the movie if you like to laugh.
