I had the opportunity to sit down and watch the short film "That's That!" from 1938 here in 2023 for the very first time ever. And I figured that I would opt to give it a go, I mean, 8 minutes and it being a Laurel and Hardy thing, so why not?
This have to be the worst abomination ever spawned with the comedy duo Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. It was a random chaotic cut of various scenes from various of their other movies cut together in an attempt to create a coherent storyline. It failed most utterly at the hands of writer Bert Jordan. This was without a doubt a farce.
Not even a single laugh, because you have no clue as to what is going on. The movie just went cut, next scene, cut, next scene, constantly. So there was no red thread to the storyline, and you didn't get to laugh, because everything was just cut to shreds. Very poor editing here.
Do yourself a favor and skip on "That's That!". It just simply isn't worth the 8 minutes.
My rating of "That's That!" lands on a one out of ten stars.
