Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Chonesday It's one of the most original films you'll likely see all year, which, depending on your threshold for certifiably crazy storylines, could be a rewarding experience or one that frustrates you.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

dentrex Something here that you cannot miss, in fact in all the "talkie" L&H Hal Roach Shorts, is how these two men made the transition from silent film. Much of the exaggerated pantomime, side-splitting reaction shots and priceless facial expressions are left over from the silents and Stan and Ollie took that and ran it to the goal post.I had the privilege of acquiring some hard to find video stuff and came across this one. Oh my god, no one else could make this work as well with the female counterparts played by themselves. That whole business with the telephones in the beginning had me laughing out loud in front of the screen. What fun! But the most golden moment for me was towards the end when "Mrs. Stan" (ie, Hardy) looks up, making Laurel look up, and just cracks him under his jaw with a dinner plate. Folks, I almost wet myself. No one could pull that sight gag off as well as these two huge talents. It's so funny that it's almost not a spoiler, you just have to see it for yourself.Awesome. In that era, even a 20 minute short was to be perfection, especially at Hal Roach's shop!!!!

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 (brain specialist) and Stan (associate adviser) have married each other's twin sisters (played by themselves), and it has been one year since, so they need to head home for an anniversary meal, and there is apparently a surprise for Ollie, that Stan wasn't meant to tell him about. It should be said that the twin sisters are just as clumsy and argumentative as their brothers. Stan is sent out to buy some strawberry ice cream, but he manages to go into the wrong place (it was next door) and spend the 15 cents on the three phone calls to home. There is the final squabble with all arguing about family differences, and it ends with Stan's sister "giving" a new anniversary cake to Ollie's sister. Also starring Charlie Hall as Delivery boy. Filled with good slapstick and all classic comedy you want from a black and white film, at just over an hour, it is an enjoyable film. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were number 7 on The Comedians' Comedian. Worth watching!

MartinHafer To me, this is one of the team's creepier and less funny shorts. Stan and Ollie play dual roles--they play themselves and female versions of themselves. According to the strange plot, Stan and Ollie both have sisters that look exactly like them in drag AND they both marry each other's sister! Aside from being a very unbelievable and contrived idea for a short, it was also pretty weird seeing Stan and Ollie in drag and then marrying the other!! To make matters worse, the wives (in particular, the female version of Stanley) have horrid voices--the type that could get any person to stick an icepick in their ears to stop the pain!!! The novelty of the idea wears off pretty quickly, as the film features far fewer laughs than their average short. It frankly isn't one of their better efforts and is pretty skip-able unless you are like me--a die-hard fan. For a similar type movie where the boys play dual roles, try watching the much funnier and better-made BRATS. In this film, Stan and Ollie play themselves and their kids. Technically speaking, this is an amazing film to watch and is a film worth seeing.

Theo Robertson I`m in two minds about this Stan & Ollie short . While it`s far less episodic than some of their other stuff like THICKER THAN WATER - And watching these shorts many many years after I last saw them I found their episodic feel is a major problem to today`s audience - it`s not all that funny compared to most of their other stuff mainly due to nothing ultra sadistic happening . I`ve always thought the best films in the series are ones when something really nasty happens to Ollie while Stan just stands there with a vacant glazed look upon his face. One other point I didn`t like was the irritating voice over given to Ollie`s wife who`s played by Stan
