A Classic! No one does slapstick like Abbott and Costello and they are at the top of their form in these "Horror" movies. Nuff said!

Wait for Best of Volume 4
Bliggick | Vancouver | 09/04/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Although Meet The Mummy is a decent swan-song for Abbott and Costello with Universal Pictures after an incredible run of about 30 films I can't really recommend buying this DVD unless you can get it dirt-cheap or if for some reason you only like this A&C vehicle and none of their later films. Unlike the companion edition ...Meet Frankenstein, which is filled with wonderful special features that were not included with Best Of Volume 3, Meet The Mummy contains almost nothing except for production notes and cast and crew, and when Universal releases Best Of Volume 4 you will be paying no more than three dollars per movie which has made the Abbott and Costello Best Of series one of the best DVD values available."
Who Cares About Behind-The-Scenes Grumbling?

"ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET THE MUMMY was one of the funniest of their screwball antics. The tale of the two cleverest yucksters chasing a medallion to an ancient Egyptian crypt where they encounter -- as the title promises -- the Mummy is one classic set of laughs after another. All of the trades touched on the bitterness the two men felt for one another during the filming process of this outing, but, with all the magic of their performances still on the silver screen, you sure wouldn't know it. A great transfer for a classic addition to any DVD library, this is one for the ages."
Very funny but don't waste your money!

"THE BEST OF ABBOTT AND COSTELLO: VOL. 4 is coming out on Oct. 4, 2005, and it has ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE, ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET JERRY SEINFELD, ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET THE KEYSTONE KOPS, ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET THE MONSTERS, ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET THE MUMMY, and THE WORLD OF ABBOTT AND COSTELLO. The vol. 4 will probably be a few more dollars than this one DVD but it will also include 5 other movies. SO DO NOT BUY THIS COPY."
One of my favorite A & B movies

"I agree about the Take Your Pick sequence. I have the entire A & B movie collection and watch them often. My granddaughter always asks to watch one when she comes over. The sequence in the restaurant with the medallion is also very funny. I would recommend this movie to anyone interested in classic comedies."
Bud and Lou put a wrap on their Universal movies.

"Bud and Lou's final film at Universal is a pleasent little comedy, nothing more. It managed to generate some chuckles and a constant warm smile on my face, but no deep belly laughs (unlike some of their greatest work in Hold that Ghost, Hit the Ice, or ...Meet Frankenstein). Seeing character actors Michael Ansara and Richard Deacon in supporting roles was an added hoot for the movie. The best thing about ...Meet the Mummy that I can say is that after several viewings it still has not worn out its welcome as a Sunday afternoon time waster in our home. Enjoyable matinee fluff."
