Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. The film shows its age and serves as a good academic study due to its good representation of a certain era’s culture. It’s good to reflect on the contributions this team made to the world of comedy. Long after their death, they continue to generate income, laughter, and entertainment.
