| User ReviewDonald "Skull" PTen times better than A & C's weak effort. |
| User ReviewDavid GI don't know what happened with 'Flying Deuces,' but I'm glad that they fixed it and went back to the style of comedy that Laurel and Hardy are known for, for this film. Every Laurel n' Hardy movie that I've seen has been fun and enjoyable; and this movie is no exception. |
| User ReviewJonathan SClassic Laurel and Hardy ridiculousness unleashed. |
| User ReviewThe Critic (Decent comedy but they were in decline by this time. |
| User ReviewJames HBetter than average Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy film, some very funny scenes. They are always worth watching. Even their films that are not so good are worth seeing. |

| User ReviewWilliam WStan and Ollie on the verge of a nervous breakdown from working at a car horn factory take a holiday out to sea and fall into the arms of a dangerous wanted killer. One of the weakest comedies of the duo, though in their defense this is a fact that is mostly due to contract and studio nuisance. This was, in fact, the last film they made with Hal Roach and to fulfil the contract it had to be made. So here is an unremarkable film that shows some creativity and originality in its start but hence recycles old gags and feels much more aged than the stuff they had been dishing out up to then. Slow paced and dull, Saps at Sea is an unremarkable work in Laurel and Hardy's remarkable filmography. |
