Wilbur is a young man whose dream is to become a great barber, but for now, he's working just as an assistant, at a hotel's barber shop. When one day he gets involved (by mistake) in some big robbery, he is forced to disguise himself as a 12 year old boy, so that he can get away from his persecutor. —Chris Makrozahopoulos <makzax@hotmail.com>

So fun!

This movie may not make the most sense, but it sure is funny. The dynamic between Martin and Lewis is delightful.

There are so many funny bits and the whole premise is just so ridiculous. I highly recommend watching if you are a fan of silliness. Even my children, who get bored of my old movies, enjoyed this one.
