The film is based on simple stereotypes there is little character development. I found it a sincere challenge to determine where the funny parts were, this just isn't a comedy, I can't think of a single line that had me giggling inside or laughing outright. Debbie Reynolds acts as if she is reading from a script, very wooden. No wonder she was known for her roles in musicals. In some ways this reminds me of the Bob Hope films of the 60's minus the jokes.
