Summary: Oh yah!!
Review: My sister saw the 1st one then started begging to see the next one. These two comrades bring a hilarious act into the show with the police after them giant squids and more. Always fighting over a girl, but usually stickin together unlike the time one of them sold the other as a slave to pay 4 dinner. I am telling you this is a great movie collection 4 kids u can cuddle up on the couch and watch one each night. I loved it and wish there were more but it dosen't matter cause we are already watching them over again!!

Review: Pre-"Call Me Bwana" Bob Hope!! Is there anything better? NO ONE was better with a one-liner or an ad lib than old Ski-Nose! And Bing playing against him, never ceasing to amaze with his OWN ability to toss off a few!Of the movies in this collection, "Utopia" is the best, with the slyest one liners, some fourth-wall breaking and lots of "in" jokes. And ALL the movies, at least on the VHS version, were crisp as could be! The one thing you'll notice about the "Road" movies, is that the humor in them seems WAAAYY ahead of its time....like something you'd see in the fifties or sixties rather than the forties. Hope and Crosby were to comedy films what "Citizen Kane" and "The Wizard of Oz" were to late thirties drama.... trendsetting and exceptional! You couldn't possibly go wrong getting this set...if only it had "Hong Kong" and "Bali" in it....! Who is ever going to replace these two guys? George Clooney and Brad Pitt? Mike Meyers and Dana Carvey? I don't think so. We'll miss you, Bob, Bing, Orson, Audrey, Cary, Frank, Sammy, Lucy, Desi.... Somewhere in heaven, someone is being entertained royally....

Summary: A joke in your face
Review: ROAD TO MOROCCO is a joke in your face comedy when shipwrecked stowaways Hope and Crosby land on the beach where they soon stumble upon the road sign, "Road to Morocco." Their predictable and unpredictable jokes keep you chuckling from that point. Small problem that they are travelling through sinister Arabian countryside; they break out singing that, "Hey audience, we are on the Road to Morocco, we're liable to meet Dorothy Lamour, and if there's danger don't worry, Paramount will protect us because we're signed for five more years." Ultimately they reach the City. That's where the Palace is located; where Princess Lamour searches for a husband. Crosby sells Hope to pay a dinner check and a few hundred Kolaks for himself. Hope ends up in the Palace as Lamour's intended consort. Crosby has a change of heart about double-crossing Hope and sets off to find and rescue him. He finds Hope in the Palace entertained by Arab dancing girls who are dead ringers for Arabian clad UCLA cheerleaders. Lamour, of course, is smitten by Crosby, but has agreed to marry Hope because the Royal Oracle has predicted that her first husband [Hope in this case] would die in a week after the marriage, but the second husband would live a long life. Through a series of twists Hope learns of the Oracle, gives the job of Groom to Crosby, the Oracle learns that he oracled wrong [there were bugs on his telescope], Lamour jumps at the chance to marry Crosby and travel to the USA for the wedding, Desert Chief Anthony Quinn arrives with his entourage of cutthroats, he steals Lamour and the servant girl who is now infatuated with Hope, Hope and Crosby are banished to the desert, they eventually find Quinn's camp and . . . well, you must see the movie because the plot at this point is too complicated. I would have to explain that Hope and Crosby find a solution to rescue the girls as they wisecrack, give hot-foots, and use pyrotechnic hi-jinks to end the film. This movie is Comedy Heritage. I wish Paramount was still making the very funny, very entertaining Road movies.

Summary: These Roads Lead To Fun!
Review: The "Road to..." movies by Hope and Crosby (and of course Dorothy Lamour) were and are absolutely hilarious. This collection provides four of the movies at a very reasonable price. I only wish it included ALL of the Road movies.

Summary: Great picture quality, many extras
Review: This DVD of three Hope-Crosby road movies is of exceptional quality. I've seen these movies dozens of times and have never seen them so crisp, clean and unblemished. The sound quality is also superb. I felt as if I was sitting in a movie theatre in the 40's because the presentation of the films seemed so new. Each DVD contains the original trailer for the three films as well as some trivia and bloopers. As for the Hope-Crosby teaming, it is a mystery to me why they remain so under-appreciated by critics and fans alike. Bob Hope was a comic master who possessed impeccable timing and was simply hilarious. His character in the road films was always an immature Casanova wannabe who was slick with the one-liners. It's a loveable, irreplaceable part of Americana. Bing was an unconventional yet brilliant straight man. I say "unconventional" because he got almost as many laughs as Hope. Their screen chemistry remains dynamic and undated. Dorothy Lamour adds glamour and some humor as well, but the main reason to cherish these movies is because of Bing and Bob. This set comprises the three best road films, with Road to Utopia being my favorite. The characters of Sperry and McGirk are absolute classics and their swaggering scenes in the Alaskan saloon are the apex of Bing and Bob comedy. Watch for the ending which somehow escaped the odious Hayes office. It's way before its time and a total delight. Enjoy these three great movies and appreciate anew the tremendous talent, timing and comedic excellence from Hope and Crosby.

Summary: Middle of the Road
Review: Titling this collection "The Road Series" would lead one to believe that it is a complete collection of the Hope and Crosby "Road" movies. Actually there are three road movies missing from this set. It doesn't make sense not to include them. What's included is great, but what's missing is very disappointing.
