Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Hitchcoc As is usually the case, a series of unfortunate events lead to the near destruction of Oliver Hardy. Ollie would like the day off but his wife insists that he finally get on the roof and adjust the radio antenna. Of course, he will need someone to help and we know who that is. After destroying the chimney, there are continuous hilarious mishaps, including bricks falling on Ollie's head. It is classic to watch him sit there, thinking each brick is the last and the another falls. Oliver was the master of the despairing victim. Stanley means well but is a horror when it comes to fixing things. Eventually, Stan makes the mistake of tying a rope to the car to anchor the big guy. Well, it's expected and, once again, a delight. The car starting scene with Stan is stunningly funny.

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) This is basically the essence of this Laurel & Hardy short film from 1930. it was made 85 years ago and it is one of their earlier sound films. The silent era was a thing of the past, bot not for really long at this point. However, it is still a black-and-white film. This movie runs for not even 20 minutes and was directed by the still pretty young James Parrott. He made many Stan & Ollie films, also many other movies and was one of the most prolific movie makers of his time. Hadn't he died in his early 40s already, he would have been even more prolific. And he was a talented actor too who appeared in over 100 movies. The writer is H.M. Walker and he worked on many Larel & Hardy films too. This short film here has a couple funny moments, but all in all not that many really. It's an okay watch once for fans of the duo, but the rest doesn't really need to watch it. Not one of their best in my opinion.

MartinHafer After having seen just about every short Laurel and Hardy made together, I have noticed that the most of the best films are the ones with very simple and mundane plots. Films such as DIRTY WORK, HELP MATES and HOG WILD simply have the pair cleaning house or fixing things, yet they sure milk it for all its worth. I think one of the reasons I love these films is that they aren't cluttered with co-stars or difficult plots and just allow the pair to be the lovable and klutzy characters we've come to love.Here, Ollie's wife tells him to install a radio aerial on the roof so they can get better reception and THEN he can go have fun with Stan. For any halfway normal person, this would have been a rather quick job--and so naturally the boys nearly kill themselves as well as manage to destroy much of the house! The film ends with a tough to believe but well-filmed sequence where Ollie is stuck on a ladder and Stan accidentally starts the car. Unlike lousy driving sequences such as in COUNTY HOSPITAL where the studio used cheap and unrealistic rear projection to make the driving sequence, here it's filmed for real--though of course stunt doubles were used for the distant shots. This scene and the final shot were quite well done and worked well with the prior house demolition scenes--providing many laughs and no serious lulls. Funny and right to the point.

bob the moo Oliver is having memory problems and is losing stuff which causes a fight with his wife. In a strop she demands he put up the aerial so her radio can pick up stations from Japan. Stan comes round and is enticed by the chance to hear Japan that he offers to help put the aerial up on the roof. However with two men on the job the chances of accidents doubles!After a seemingly pointless and confusing start this short settles down to be a very enjoyable film that has good routines that sound basic but are very well executed and are, more importantly, very funny. The opening title card talks about Hardy losing his memory and Laurel never having had one to lose. There is then a short scene where hardy can't find his hat and then the whole amnesia thing is forgotten as the film moves to the aerial plot. It gets much better at this point and is very funny.Although really it is simply a list of ways for one of the characters to fall down - it is done well and some of the bits are clever. The final sequence of the film is the best and must have been the most difficult to film. As always it is the delivery of the lead duo who make the material work (and last over decades). They do sterling work here – as always my favourite is Hardy. In this short more than others you can see him when he jumps up in frustration and points his fingers into the air – it reminds me so much of modern characters (such as George from Seinfeld) and it shows what an influence they have had.Although on paper this doesn't sound that inspired I assure you that, if you enjoy the comedy of Laurel and Hardy, that you'll find much to enjoy here. But even if you are yet to discover them this is a fine example of their talents before they progressed from shorts into features.
