McGuerins from Brooklyn, The (1942)

** (out of 4)

Hal Roach comedy is the second of a trilogy films surrounding the title brothers. The two brothers (Joe Sawyer, William Bendix) are still running their taxi service but one of the brothers gets involved with his secretary while the other tries to keep his wife from finding out. If you've got nothing to do at 3am and need to waste 45-minutes then this film might come in handy but if you've got better things to do then you can certainly skip this one. I've been impressed with some of the Roach comedies with Sawyer but I was disappointed in this one of the previous film in the series (Brooklyn Orchid). There are a couple laughs here and there but it's easy to see that this film was rushed and not much time went into coming up with a good screenplay.
