Where the Pest Begins

1945 · 17 min Comedy
5.3 / 10 · TMDB

Jonathan Bass (Tom Kennedy), an inventor working for the government, makes the mistake of his life. He moves next door to Shemp. Lazy, obtuse and obnoxious, Shemp plays the good neighbor by wrecking the Bass' garage, car and china... and somehow makes it look to Bass' wife (Christine McIntyre) that Jonathan is clumsily at fault. Bass' latest project is a new bomb for the Army, and it's only a matter of time before helpful Shemp turns up in the laboratory basement offering his assistance.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Where the Pest Begins is an acquired taste at 5.3/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1945. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
