The McGuerins from Brooklyn

"The McGuerins from Brooklyn" is the second of three films from Hal Roach Studios starring William Bendix and Joe Sawyer. I've seen the first one, "Brooklyn Orchid" and it's enjoyable but slight...just like this one. Overall, the films are harmless fun...good for a laugh but no especially deep nor films you must rush to see.

Tim McGuerin (Bendix) and Eddie (Joe Sawyer) have both built a very successful taxi business and are rolling in dough. But their love lives could certainly use some improvement. The story involves a series of mistakes and as a result, Tim's wife is angry and thinks he is cheating on her...as does Eddie's girlfriend. Add to this a kooky health spa run by 'Samson' (played by former heavyweight boxing champ, Max Baer) and you have a bunch of laughs AND some very broad acting and silly situations.

As I watched this movie with my aunt, I noticed that the film was kind of cheesy BUT my aunt kept laughing...showing that despite the story's problems here and there, there are still a bunch of laughs. As a result, it makes for a very enjoyable time-passer.
