For me a comedy is a movie in which i have laughs after laughs after laughs and as i have already written, for one time, my country is better than America : over there, the only comedies i rated 10 are Saving Silverman, Looney Tunes, Pee-Wee, Fletch, Raising Arizona, Vacations, Groundhog Day, Miss Doubtfire, Goonies, Gremlins and Ghosbusters
So that makes just an handful and this memorable duo of Laurel & Hardy rejoices now this club !
At first, i feared it would be an old boring and dusty stuff like Charlot but the dynamic duo convinces me of their true genius for the genre in less than 5 minutes : they find crazy things in totally ordinary things and that's when the fun is great : those simple, humble characters, their slice of life is all i ask to smile, unlike today when comedy means big money, big dashing stars, big effects but big boredom and poor results! I was really impressed by the humanity and chemistry of this duo, so faraway of today norms (except the late John Candy and John Goodman, where is the big actor now ?) . The story is a bit like the future Anchors aweigh with sailors ashore and it's funny how i keep on watching twin movies actually : JCVD, la Bellucci, Noomi, Géraldine And as my mother during BTTF2, here sometimes i was even lost by which pair it was !
Anyway, this DVD was inside a bigger box-set and as i had so much fun with this 1st one, i'm really impatient now to discover the other as well !
