 Seeing is Believing January 11, 2008
Students graduate from the Dugan Detective School, among them Bud and Lou. They begin working the night shift and get their first client, who takes them to a house. Tommy Nelson wants the serum to make himself invisible! It's the only way he can escape the police. They don't believe Lou, and have him examined. There is a skit over passing the bucks. The special effects are good. Lou demonstrates his boxing skills at the gym. "Louie the Looper" will get a match with Rocky Hanlon. There is a plan to catch those responsible for killing O'Hara, the manager of Tommy Nelson. The skits are funny, but you can see the boys are older and less active.
The story continues with drama and comedy. Invisible Tommy will punch Rocky in the ring. But Tommy leaves the ring to listen to Morgan. He returns in time to win the fight for Louie. And so the story runs it course. The police arrest the real killers, and Tommy is restored to visibility with a blood transfusion from Lou. There is a happy ending with one last comic scene.
Aside from being another comedy based on a horror movie this film warned against betting on crooked boxing matches.
 THE BEST OF ABBOTT AND COSTELLO May 10, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The best of Abbott and Costello is definitely in this pack!I love Abbott and Costello(as actors)!Not even the 3 stooges can beat the abbott and costello when they meet the monsters!Everyone should have the right to watch the talented Bud Abbott and Lou Costello!There should be more copies!So whoever is reading this that hasn,t seen it I won't spoil it,only give a tiny summary on my favorite one.:
Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde
Slim and Tubby(Bud and Lou)are American cops in London to study police tactics and knowing them,they wind up in jail. They are bailed out by Dr. Jekyll who has been murdering fellow doctors who laugh at his experiments. The boys look to solve the recent murders to get back on the police force. The serum ends up into the system of Tubby and several police officers, causing many Hyde's running around London.
Classic Family Fun at its best February 24, 2003

Bud & Lou graduate detective school or at least Bud does, Lou graduates because the teacher is bribed. A suspected killer comes to them to help prove he is innocent and later becomes invisible to hide from the police who happens to be william frawley (fred mertz from i love lucy). frawley had lou sent to a shrink to explain disappearing men and ends up hypnotizing the shrink - very funny. The theme is a boxing frame up, when a figher doesnt take a dive and knocks out the mobs boxer- you get a murder. Next Bud and lou go undercover as boxer and manager to prove the set up and with the invisble man as lou's real boxing hands it is very funny and a very well put together hollywood gem that you can watch with the whole family, unlike the current [stuff] hollywood puts out today, this is good clean fun and a keeper.
 Abbott & Costello Mee the Monsters Collection VHS November 4, 2002
29 out of 29 found this review helpful
This collection consists of Abbott & Costello Meet ...Frankenstein, The Mummy, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and The Invisible Man.
The Frankenstein and Invisible Man movies are possibly the best with more cohesive plots and more Abbott & Costello than the other two movies. However, all these movies are winners in my book. All the movies have classic Abbott & Costello repartee and it's great to have all four of these classic monsters with Abbott & Costello in a set!
nice invisible man and very funny movie. July 23, 2002
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
This movie is extremely hilarious and will please any Abbott and Costello fan! The Invisible man character is just as great as any old time Invisible man character of old films! The film has no crude or gross jokes like the modern dumb comedies today do! The film is simple clean joking,but does contain an average amount of violence to give it a PG rating. I do not know why people frame people for murders as they do in this film. But the character does his best to break the killers arms. The killers deserve what they get! A conclusion adds that this one is one of Bud and Costellos best movies!!
