During an era when the Three Stooges were cranking out mediocre stock-footage remakes, the completely original "Goof on the Roof" was a welcome relief, and a pretty funny one at that. Moe, Larry, and Shemp attempt to spruce up their friend's house and end up with one blunder after another, and it just gets worse and worse.
My favorite scenes: After Moe slips on the soap and falls head first in the bucket of water, Shemp takes part of Moe's ruined jelly sandwich, smacks Moe's face with it, and spreads the jelly around. Shemp tries to install a television antenna on the roof, but he winds up falling through the ceiling. In trying to straighten out the control knob for the television set, Larry turns a wall into a "Swiss cheese" and sets it on fire.
If you can forgive the bad feather duster gag, "Goof on the Roof" is a highly enjoyable comedy. The fun and the hijinks don't stop for even one minute!
