Bob Hope Starring With A Black Man
14 September 2023
I like Bob Hope he's an American legend. I like his movies, too. And I liked this movie for the most part, although I was expecting the ghosts earlier in the movie. You have to wait a long, long time for the ghosts. I got annoyed with waiting so long.

I also got annoyed with the "scared black guy with big white eyes" joke they they do about 50 times in this movie. Something happens, cut to the black guy. Oh look, he's scared and shaking again and his eyes are white and big as dinner plates. That joke just gets very old when it's done 50 times in the same movie. That black man was probably very talented, but all they let him do was shiver and shake and make his eyes go big. That's pathetic. I'm not going to say that it's racist, but I am going to say that it's lazy. The same joke 50 times in the same movie is just plain lazy. There. I said it. So sue me. Lazy. I said it again. What are you gonna do? Nothing. Because I'm the one writing this. Lazy. Lazy. Lazy.

Overall it's pretty fun. I enjoyed quite a bit of it. Bob Hope is very good and so is the actress. There are some good jokes. Bob was an expert at delivering one-liners. Nobody was ever better than him.
