I don't know why this AC movie is so underrated though includes a lot of funny routines and scenes, watch the "drop dummy" one, will surely laugh a lot.
Returning to the MGM lot in the Spring of 1945, Abbott and Costello make what would be their last, and funniest, film at the Tiffany of studios. Declining revenues during the war took its toll at MGM, and the loan-out deal with Universal was not renewed. Bud and Lou probably didn't mind, as there was a downturn in script quality at MGM -- not to mention a downturn in their salaries!!!
"In Hollywood" isn't as poor as their first two MGM films, however. "Rio Rita" and "Lost In A Harem" suffered from poor pacing; here, the pacing is fine. And it's fun to see Lou get into trouble on the MGM lot(in the film, the studio is Mammoth.) Incidentally, MGM lifted the idea of Lou's cavorting on the set from Buster Keaton's 1930 MGM film "Free and Easy." Another fun scene is on the midway set; it's ludicrous to believe that Costello is staying balanced on one wheel on the roller coaster, but, hey, that's what makes the scene funny and enjoyable to watch. The best scene in the film is the "insomnia" sketch, where Costello finds it impossible to sleep through the record that's supposed to put him to sleep (people raised only on CDs can't relate to this!)
All in all, "In Hollywood" is a few notches above A&C's other MGM films. Video collectors take note: although "The Noose Hangs High" and "Dance With Me, Henry" were released on video by MGM/UA, they were actually independent productions. "In Hollywood" was their last MGM film, and a decent one at that. 7 out of 10.

Buzz Kurtis (Bud Abbott) and Abercrombie (Lou Costello) are working at a Hollywood salon for the stars. Abercrombie pays Buzz to teach him how to be a barber and it's not going well. They do a house call at Hollywood agent Norman Royce's office. They witness his work and decide to become agents themselves.
I love the shaving scenes. Lou is turning into full Curly. I like him with the kids. There are some very funny individual scenes. The overall story is not that important and it's not that compelling. This end with a couple of dangerous split second stunts and a fun roller coaster ride.

Can you imagine A Night at the Opera with only two Marx Brothers? That's essentially what you get in Abbott and Costello in Hollywood.
As good as they were, the Marx Brothers never got their names into the title of any picture they did. That's because they weren't half the box office draw that Bud and Lou were.
Like Chico and Harpo, Bud and Lou are barbers who get the idea to be agents. They decide to handle the career of Robert Stanton the same way Chico and Harpo sign up Allan Jones. And crooner Stanton does get into the picture in just about the same way Jones broke into Il Trovatore.
Too bad though that Stanton never got to sing some songs as good as Cosi-Cosa or Alone. Might have a career for him.
A&C got some good bits in. They had a good scene with MGM comedian Rags Ragland after Ragland comes in for a shave. And Costello being chased through the finale in a midway sequence is pretty funny.
This was the last of three films that Universal loaned out the boys to MGM for the glossier productions than what they were used to at Universal. My favorite of the three MGM films has always been Lost in a Harem. That has more the zany quality of the Universal films than either Abbott and Costello in Hollywood or Rio Rita has.
This one did only so-so box office as compared to the Universal product and Carl Laemmle, Jr. lent them out no more.

Abbott & Costello play two barbers in Hollywood who dream of being agents, and get their chance when a young singer they know becomes quite good, but is unknown, so the team schemes to change all that, and of course many mishaps and misunderstandings occur as a result. Last of their three films to be made at MGM is much better than "Lost In A Harem"(Never saw the other one, named "Rio Rita") Film does have some good scenes like when Lou is mistaken for a prop dummy, or they have to shave a balloon. Real actors at the studio have cameos like Lucille Ball, Preston Foster, Rags Ragland, and director Robert Z. Leonard. Still, this film isn't funny enough to succeed, and remains forgettable.

- TriviaThis film's producer, Martin A. Gosch, was not an MGM in-house producer, as most producers were on the studio's films. He was the producer for Bud Abbott and Lou Costello's radio show, and they insisted that he produce this film rather than someone they believed would be looking out for MGM's interests rather than theirs.
- ErroresDuring Costello's shaving scene, members of the crew can be heard laughing off-camera.
