Overrated

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Floor Flusher (1954) ** 1/2 (out of 4)Olive Oyl is cooking in her kitchen when she breaks the already leaking sink. Soon Popeye and Bluto are in the house trying to impress her with their pluming skills.FLOOR FLUSHER is an okay entry in the long-running series. If you're a fan of it then you'll obviously want to check it out but if you're new to Popeye then it's best to start with one of the better films. With that said, there are some funny moments scattered throughout the film including one sequence where Popeye can't quite reach his spinach. There are also some creative battles as the two men keep trying to fix the leak, which obviously keeps getting bigger and bigger.

"I gave Bluto a whippin.' and stopped all the drippin,' I'm Popeye The Plumber Man!"That ending song about summed up this very fast-moving and entertaining Popeye cartoon, which seems to have a new sight gag every few seconds as Bluto sabotages Olive's house and little goldfish have to help Popeye save the place.It all starts with a leaky faucet and leads to total chaos as Popeye and Bluto pay a visit, try to play plumber and Bluto then gets nasty when Popeye proves to be the better helper. To say Bluto was a sore loser is a big understatement.This is a lot of fun and looks good, too. A restored version would look excellent.
