Everyone knows Rooney from his movies with Judy Garland and the Andrew Hardy films, and those are all great don't get me wrong, but I wanted to see just how great his comedy really was, so I picked the movie Off Limits. I felt that this movie would really put his comedic talents to the test because he is starring with one of the comedy greats, Bob Hope.
On with the movie. I guess I should have known that you can't have a Mickey Rooney movie without some kind of singing. This one is no exception. He and Hope sang an interesting song about being a MP. Other than on the singing front, Rooney can't keep up with Hope. I don't know if it is just the writing or if it's the acting, but Rooney and Hope aren't in the same league of comedy.
And with that, I raise my lighter to light the candles on Mickey's birthday cake.
I give this movie 2 cakes out of 5.
