Wow -- with all the big names in this one, expected it to be better. Liberal use of backdrop scenery, and the general Three Stooges buffoonery keep us from getting too invested in this comedy from 1932. With Busby Berkley directing the dance numbers, like the naughty opening number where the school girls wake up, go for a swim, and get dressed, it was sure to keep the audiences watching. Eddie Cantor and Robert Young toot down to Mexico and get into trouble after getting bounced from college. Supporting cast of Noah Beery, a 16 year old Betty Grable, Paulette Goddard, and a 15 year old Jane Wyman in the chorus, if we can believe the dates on IMDb. Feels like a collection of vaudeville acts stapled together....Cantor sings a couple songs. Noah Beery's Mexican accent comes and goes. Leo McCarey had been directing films for 10 years by this time, most of them silents. The acting in this one is a little over the top, kind of like a Three's Company episode. It's okay.
