The Truck Farmer (1954)

Too serious, 19 August 2015

I've had the misfortune to see this short something like four or five times in the past couple of weeks. Why? Well, I want to write a review for I Accuse My Parents and, as others have pointed out, The Truck Farmer precedes the movie in the MST3K episode. I keep making the mistake of watching it at night as I go to bed. Bad idea! The Truck Farmer is so dull I fall asleep before the I Accuse My Parents even begins. The biggest problem is that The Truck Farmer is so serious about it's subject matter, it's not fun. Some of these shorts I've seen from the 50s are educational AND entertaining. You can find a laugh or two even without the MST3K commentary. Not here. It's as dry as can be. Sure, there's some good information, but if it's not presented in an entertaining manner, I'd be unlikely to retain much of it.

A generous 3/10 from me.
