I'm going to say right off the bat that this is by no means a good movie. The worst part is probably how they utilize the going to Venus thing. Yeah, they don't go to Mars. It's true that they THINK they're going to Mars, but it's actually Venus. As you might have predicted, they use the joke about it being populated entirely by women. It's interesting how they first appear in New Orleans during Mardi Gras.They think the people wearing the costumes are aliens. I thought there were a lot of good jokes in this. I even liked the romantic bit they got in at the end. Okay, it's not as good as them meeting Frankenstein, but it's still okay for what it is. I'm impressed at how prolific they were. It's just alright. **1/2

As a kid I loved watching the Abbott and Costello films on a Sunday afternoon T V, back in the 70's. Dated for today's standards, but still funny. Abbott and Costello still could deliver the lines and timing which make the two golden. Predictable, but funny. The no I don't want you have it toss and object back and forth never gets old. Planet with women is funny! Good special effects for the 50's. The usual get into trouble ending is a good formula. Abbott and Costello Go to Mars ages well. 6 out of ten stars.

Released in 1953 - This Sci-Fi/Comedy, with its weak storyline and inferior humor, was a clear indication that the end was just around the corner for Abbott & Costello's careers as one of Hollywood's most popular, slapstick comedy-duos.Following "Go To Mars", Abbott & Costello would go on to star in 4 more films together. With all of them being big flops, "Dance With Me, Henry" would be the last, which was released in 1956.Playing characters Lester & Orville (respectively), our 2 dim-witted protagonists are menial lab-workers who are assigned to load supplies onto a high-tech rocket-ship.In a state of bewilderment Orville accidentally hits the ignition switch which immediately launches the rocket into the sky.Believing that they have actually landed on Mars (but it's really New Orleans during Mardi Gras), Orville and Lester don spacesuits and venture out of the rocket to meet the Martians (who are really just regular people wearing wild costumes).In the meantime, 2 escaped convicts, Harry the Horse and Mugsy, find the rocket and after putting on a couple of extra spacesuits, go out and rob a bank.As circumstances turn out, Lester, Orville, Harry and Mugsy, all end up together back inside the rocket and they blast off to Venus where they discover the planet to be inhabited by only scantily-clad women in high-heels. (All men had been banished by Queen Allura long ago) Even though Venus appears to be a heavenly paradise for these men, it doesn't take long for the boys to get themselves back to Earth, where justice is finally served to Harry and Mugsy.This movie actually sounds a lot better than it really is. The whole production was very rushed and noticeably inferior in every aspect.Filmed in b&w, this film had a running time of only 77 minutes.

this is another great bud Abbott and Lou Costello movie and because of all the same reasons it has great comedy in it it has good acting in it the actors in it are good it has a good story line to it everything in it is good. so i'm sure that you will not be disappointed with bud Abbott and Lou Costello go to mars. so make sure that you rent or buy bud Abbott and Lou Costello go to mars because it is really good. and i'm sure that you will have a good time watching it and you will watch it over and over again.overall score ******** out of ********** ***1/2 out of *****
