Summary: The Boys Are Back
Review: This road picture is filled with a lot of laughs, and the boys are back in good form. The previous road picture, "The Road To Rio" was terrible (for some reason), but this one sees Bing and Bob having fun again.

The boys are older here (about 51) and it is more obvious with Bing. And, for the first time, Bob seems to have the upper hand (in that competition of theirs) as he throws some pretty good zingers at Bing.

The pace of this road picture is pretty good ... and things really get rolling once they (Bob, Bing, and Dottie) are on the boat, ready to send Bob down into the water. The funny lines come one after another (and the quality is pretty high), and it doesn't stop ... until they are captured by the natives ... and then it gets pretty dull, but that is near the end anyway.

My rating list of all seven road pictures goes like this:

1. Utopia
2. Zanzibar
3. Bali
4. Singapore
5. Morocco
6. Hong Kong
7. Rio

But there is a lot of fun to be had watching the first five. I'm glad we have them.

Summary: Bali who?
Review: What a delightful Road DVD. Although the only extra is a Bio on Bob Hope, overall it is well worth the money. The color is great and the sound is acceptable(only ocassional fluctuation in level). The sets and costumes really add to this movie. Undoubtly they made them more colorful since this was the only road movie made in color. What a pity. This certainly follows the tradition of the others and Hope, Crosby, and Lamour look great. From stage performers to deep sea divers they sing and dance their way into your heart. If you only buy one road movie then be sure it is this one since it is great and the color will appeal to a younger audience as well. A movie that the whole family will find amusing jokes or site gags.
