Going in, I wasn't the biggest Laurel and Hardy fan around. As someone who likes Buster Keaton and some of the other silent clowns, I couldn't really put my finger on wasn't working for me with this duo. It had to be something other than sound. It was probably just that I didn't give them enough chances. There is no reinvention of the wheel in this short, and some of the setup-punches are predictable, but the best thing a comedy can be is funny. This film is pretty funny. Having the duo represented two different ways in the same film probably helps with the freshness of the group, I can't say as it has been a long while since I've seen any of their work, and it's not like I've a comprehensive knowledge of it anyway. This is good, this is funny. I can't imagine doing well against such a stiff set of competition though.
