Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
DubyaHan The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Hot 888 Mama . . . of caring for one or more young kids suddenly thrust upon them. MILK AND MUSH is one of the most helpful films ever produced to explain exactly what to do when you find yourself in such a situation. Say you're a guy who's just finished a 30-year stretch in the state pen, and you get paroled in time to go bar-hopping during Happy Hour. Suppose that you then have the further good fortune to run across a willing lady who's not particularly choosy when she's in her cups, and you hit it off for an hour or three. Since you do not yet have a place to stay in the outside world, she kindly invites you to her home. However, the fly in your ointment pops up the next morning, when she's running a little late getting ready for another day of work under the Golden Arches, and there seem to be about a dozen Pre-school kiddies running around loose underfoot throughout her double-wide because their regular sitter has the flu. What to do? Mom wants to know if you're "good with children?" You don't want to disappoint on your first day out of the slammer, so you reply "Uh-Huh?" and Mom says "Bye, then, see you at six." How do you kill the next eight hours? What if the little tykes get hungry? Why not clobber two owls with one rock, MGM suggests, and feed these Little Rascals MUSH AND MILK?
Leofwine_draca MUSH AND MILK is a likable Our Gang short, with unremarkable plot ingredients but a general air of energy and efficiency in terms of the comedy and plotting. The story begins with the gang members attempting to make themselves something to eat, leading to some amusing barn-themed gangs with the highlight being Pete the Pup enjoying some very fresh milk.The latter part of the story involves an old timer's pension coming through which leads to him kind-heartedly treating the kids to a day at an amusement park. This latter section features some old-time actors and a fun little cameo for Laurel & Hardy fans: James Finlayson as a banker.
tavm This Hal Roach comedy short, Mush and Milk, is the one hundred twenty-third in the "Our Gang/Little Rsacals" series and the thirty-fifth talkie. The gang are at an orphanage and they don't like it what with the mean headmistress and the regular servings of the title food. But the old man who teaches them loves them and promises as soon as his pension arrives, he'll get them all out of there. I'll stop there and just say this was another hilarious short in the series with Stymie and Dickie trying to make some milk and Spanky doing some funny dialogue with James Finlayson on the other line on the phone. The amusement park scenes may have been taken from Fish Hooky a few shorts back. Tommy does a nice rendition of "Just Friends". So on that note, I highly recommend Mush and Milk. P.S. This marked the last series appearance of Dorothy DeBorba, Dickie Moore who went back to features, and Bobby "Wheezer" Hutchins. Wheezer went back to private life after leaving. Unfortunately, he died during an air cadet training exercise on May 17, 1945 before he was to graduate that, or maybe the following week. He was 20. His brother, Dickie who was in Forgotten Babies, died on July 2, 1978.
MartinHafer This is a pretty poor Our Gang film--plus it marks the last appearances by Wheezer and Dickie Moore. Wheezer's career pretty much disappeared after this, though Dickie went on to one of the more popular child actors of the mid-1930s. So why do I say this one is poor? Well, aside from the ending, it just isn't very funny and the setup is pretty bad as well.The film begins in a boarding school. However, it's run by an ugly old hag who beats and starves the kids!! It's all WAY overdone--especially giving the nasty old lady a giant whip! Talk about lacking subtlety. There is one bright spot in the place--an old retired captain who loves the kids and vows to one day take them away from this rat hole. What follows is a lengthy school scene where the Captain teaches the kids absolutely nothing of value and it's littered with really, really lame jokes. At the end, however, the old guy strikes it rich and treats all the kids to a wonderful meal...or so he thinks.Overall, pretty bad and worth skipping unless you are a die-hard fan.
