      CodyZamboni Movie is amusing, Bing and Bob are very charismatic, and work well together. I didn't know this was a musical, with lots of goofy songs. Main attraction for me was Dorothy Lamour , so very pretty and appealing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/26/23 Full Review joel h I was looking forward to finally seeing one of the "Road To" movies. I decided to start at the beginning, with Road to Singapore, and I wonder if this series just hadn't hit its stride yet, because this film wasn't that good. The jokes may have been humorous back in the day, but they felt really dated now and many of them were lost on me. The story, also, was lacking and felt stretched thin, even though it's less than 90 minutes long. I may watch a few more of these movies, just to see if they get better. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review steve d Probably the 2nd best of the series. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The first "Road" film is not the best, but it sets the structure for the series. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member one of the better and first road pics Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This one is actually one of my favorite in the "Road to" series. If you are a fan of Bob and Bing it can't be missed! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
