| GuardianPeter BradshawLike so many of Laurel and Hardy's escalating disasters, it can only be watched from between your fingers. |
| User ReviewRoscoe SA true classic, the only film to win an Oscar for the boys. Billy Gilbert gives a wonderful supporting performance. |
| User ReviewTom EA short film of utter simplicity and perfection, so good that Ray Bradbury was moved to write a short story about it. Genius. |
| User ReviewPrivate UOMG...this one will make you laugh. It's so priceless. Oliver and Stan try to move something big and heavy up cement steps. Sometimes, you have to really laugh at those two |
| User ReviewGary RLaurel and Hardy at their best. Heave-ho! |
| User ReviewMark JQuite probably one of the funniest L&H movies ever. The realisation that all their hard work was just not needed at the end is classic! |
| User ReviewConor LIt's Laurel & Hardy. That's enough surely |
| User ReviewMichael SThe finest hour (in fact only a half) of Laurel and Hardy, the greatest comedy duo of all time, and the only one to ever win an Oscar. |
| User ReviewJim Bone of the greatest films ever made from the kings of comedy.I have all their films on dvd |
| User ReviewJose POne of the all-time comedic greats, and by far the best physical comedy I've ever seen anywhere. You can watch it again and again and still just laugh at all the jokes. Perfect. |
