  • Broken Base: Some Stooge fans hate the movie, finding Winchell and his dummies unfunny, preferring to watch the original shorts. Others like the film, thinking it is stronger than some of the other post-1959 era Stooge feature films.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: The Stooges footage is pretty much the only reason why some, especially Stooge fans, watch this movie.
  • Special Effect Failure:
    • The opening scene has Jerry and Winchell in bed as the alarm goes off. Winch sits up and turns to Jerry to wake him. He leans on his right elbow, placing it directly under himself while leaning over Jerry. The scene then cuts to a close-up, and Winch's elbow has moved to a position halfway between Jerry and himself (due to having to work the puppet).
    • When Winchell picks up Jerry out of bed and walks him to the bathroom, notice the pillow. That pillow Jerry was lying on retains the indentation of the arm that was manipulating his controls. This happens again later in the sequence when Winch walks Jerry to the closet.
    • There is a cabinet with a breadbox on top of it directly behind Jerry and between the kitchen counter. The cabinet is too close to the counter to allow passage behind. It's a prop to hide the two puppeteers behind while they manipulate Jerry.
