Summary: The Boys are out-of-place in Bozo World
Review: If you dislike The Boys' Fox films, you'll dislike this one as well. The actors don't really capture Stan and Ollie for me and trying to place them in a modern situation doesn't work. I couldn't shake the feeling that the L & H characters were terribly out-of-place in a story set in our current time frame. Just because Larry Harmon owns their likenesses doesn't mean we have to see Bozo in a Laurel and Hardy film. Give me the real thing every time. Save your money.

Review: Next thing you know, someone will try to remake "Leave It To Beaver." Or, "The Little Rascals" Wait a minute, someone already has tried those films. And with the same results as this turkey. Leave the classics alone. They can't be recreated. They are of their time and should be left alone..The only reason I give this film a one star rating is because the system wouldn't let me send the review with no stars.

Summary: A good bit never gets old
Review: Ollie and Stan still kill me. Whether it's the timeless originals, the delightful homage portrayed on Gilligan's Island with the Skipper and Gilligan, or this charming feature, the all ages slapstick humor never gets old. I would like to see more movies like this, just funny with no pretentions of grandeur.

Summary: All New Adventures of Laurel and Hardy - For Love Or Mummy
Review: Quite what the makers of this film were thinking when they produced this vile, offensive piece of excrement remains a mystery. I've seen some bad, BAD imitations of Laurel & Hardy in my time, but never as pathetic or as painful to watch as the ones featured in this movie. Thank the lord that Stan and Babe have long since passed on and will never be able to see this shoddy slap in the face that parades itself to be a 'homage' of some sort.

Summary: Well-intentioned tribute falls short
Review: The creators of this Laurel and Hardy "relaunch" intended to film a 1990s tribute to Stan and Babe. Unfortunately, it is too 1990's: the action/slapstick is frenetic and loud, hardly the subtle and inventive style of the boys' primary creative talent, Stan Laurel himself. The actors do a fine job, unfortunately the film doesn't allow them to showcase their talent. It's too bad that a biography-type film with recreations of classic Hal Roach scenes wasn't attempted. Bronson Pinchot and Gailard Sartain could have turned in wonderful performances. Finally, it's disconcerting to see that this is a Larry Harmon production. True Laurel and Hardy fans, particularly the Sons of the Desert, know the story of Stan and Harmon. Hopefully, his association with their memories will end with this direct-to-video mistake. This film will prove benign to the memories of Stan and Ollie. Thankfully.

Summary: Don't even watch this for free.
Review: This is far worse than those awful Laurel and Hardy cartoons of the 60s. They were terrible, but at least they were simple ripoffs of a then Stan and Ollie resurgence. New audiences had rediscovered the pair's comedic genius and the cartoons were mind-numbing garbage geared to cash in on children's interest. It was to be expected. But, how does one even attempt to rationalize this work of... I can't even think of a word. I'm sure the makers hoped it would somehow inspire another Laurel and Hardy revival, but you can't inspire interest in the past with a shallow and unfunny caricature of what made the original so appealing. The impressionists (I hesitate to call them actors) do a Vegas act and that's where it belongs. The plot is even flimsier than those used in the old days, trying to stretch out two-reel ideas for a feature. If this film was someone's first exposure to the REAL Laurel and Hardy, I'm sure that viewer would dismiss the original duo's reputation as senility gone amok (...)

Summary: Another Fine Tribute
Review: When I first watched this movie I did so with some trepidation. After all no modern version of The Boys could ever hope to do them justice even though past commercials for windshield wiper blades came as close to the real duo as humanly possible. However I was pleasantly surprised at the skill the actors exhibited in their portrayals of Stan and Babe. The facial expressions and classic gags and humor were in keeping with the formula that we have all come to know and love as the greatest comedy duo of all time. I enjoyed this modern day L&H adventure. Still, I give it four stars because there will never be another Laurel & Hardy. This is definately one movie to watch for all us die hard fans of The Boys. Enjoy!
