Jan 26, 2019 The best, GREATEST comedy movie ever made! With the best movie quote ever spoken: "Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into!" See more

Ron W Nov 22, 2018 Laurel and Hardy are so addictive and compulsively watchable, and this is first-rate slapstick that offers non-stop laughs with one hilarious scene after another, making us sometimes even wish it weren't so short with its running time of only a little bit more than one hour.

Poe G Jul 2, 2017 It's Laurel and Hardy in action.

Finn R Apr 28, 2017 Laurel and Hardy are ridiculous idiots - and, as usual, they are the butt of every joke. Ollie is the "mastermind" of their plan to dupe their wives to travel to Chicago for a convention of their titular fraternal order. Stan goes along for the ride but can't quite grasp the cover story. He also eats some wax fruit. One thing inevitably leads to another and their wives find out. But the fun is all in getting to that point (the Chicago scenes, featuring Charley Chase and some pre-code dancers are surprisingly brief). Sure, there is slapstick but the laughs derive equally from Laurel's malapropisms and Hardy's slow burn. The wives (Mae Busch & Dorothy Christy) hold their own without becoming caricatures. What little plot there is allows the gags to be strung together fairly well. Good for a few chortles. See more
