Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Chantel Contreras It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Jackson Booth-Millard Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are the most famous comedy duo in history, and deservedly so, so I am happy to see any of their films. Ollie and Stan are trying to sleep in a room-to-rent, but Ollie has the sniffles, so he can't stop coughing, and sneezing, causing a blind to unravel, and a picture to fall. Stan makes his cold worse when putting the picture back on the wall, he hammers into the drainage, causing a leak, and Ollie needs a foot bath. Stan goes to get it, and manages to get sticky stuff on his fingers, and on his sock, but he does get the foot bath, throat medicine, and mustard to go into the bath. Ollie manages to swallow the cotton filled with throat medicine, and his feet are smothered in the foot bath filled with thick mustard, and getting back into bed, he and Stan manage to flatten it with their weight, and when Ollie tries to blow it back up, he sucks in the air, expanding his front. Soon enough the Landlord comes in to tell them to be quiet, and again after they can't stay on the bed they've blown up too far and can't stay on, and the Landlord (Charlie Hall) manages to land into the thick mustard, and while fetching the police, Ollie and Stan get into the bed, which is slowly blowing up with more air, till it reaches the ceiling, and it explodes with Ollie's sneeze. Filled with wonderful slapstick and all classic comedy you could want from a black and white film, it is an enjoyable film. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were number 7 on The Comedians' Comedian. Very good!

Michael_Elliott They Go Boom! (1929) *** (out of 4) Hardy has a cold so it's up to Laurel to try and find a cure so that they can get a good night's sleep. Highlights include the mustard bath and the exploding mattress.Leave 'Em Laughing (1928) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Laurel is suffering from a toothache so Hardy takes him to the dentist who accidentally fills them with laughing gas. The early gags of Hardy trying to pull the tooth are funny but the ending with the cars goes on a bit too long and gets rather tiresome.One Good Turn (1931) ** 1/2 (out of 4)L&H set out to raise $100 when they overhear an elderly woman say she's going to be evicted. Not too many laughs in this one outside the opening sequence in the woods. Thicker Than Water (1935) ** 1/2 (out of 4)Laurel and Hardy waste $300 on a grandfather clock so Hardy's wife hits him with a frying pan and sends him to the hospital. Again, not too funny and the worst part is the ending where the two change personalities. This here should have been a lot funnier than it turned out.

Prichards12345 Don't you just hate a bad cold? The viewer can sympathise with Ollie 100% with his case of the "sniffles", as Stan puts it. The poor guy's up at 3AM and can't stop sneezing. Done that, T-shirt long in the trashcan.What you don't want to do is ask Stan for help. Mustard bath cures -must NOT try that one! And don't you just know, at some point, that the picture with the cute homily "Keep Smiling" is going to wrap Ollie's skull? In truth this isn't one of their better films. It has it's moments, but by and large the gags don't quite come off. Stan and Oliver on a sniffle day, if you like. Never the less it's worth watching, possibly best seen when the demon virus has yourself in it's grip.

BritishFilms1 I haven't seen many of the Laurel and Hardy shorts, but I was up in time this morning to catch this one. It is a diamond to behold. Oliver Hardy has the cold and Stan Laurel tries to cure him with his bumbling antics. By the end they have the bed up to the ceiling!These shorts are very funny. If you haven't seen them yet, do so!
