Featured review
Joe decides to save a few dollars....
When the story begins, you see Joe's wife going off for WAC reserve training...though up until now you never heard she'd been in the military. Regardless, she leaves Joe with one task alone...stay out of the movers' way as they transport their furniture to a new home only three blocks away from there. Naturally, Joe screws it up, as he figures he can save the $150 by moving it all himself. So, with the help of his neighbor, Marvin, the pair set off on an adventure...an adventure that ends up costing Joe a fortune!
Unlike most Joe McDoakes shorts, this one has no narration...just a running tally listed on the screen of Joe's expenses as they rack up. Overall, a clever and enjoyable film...and one that clearly illustrates that Joe is an idiot.
