Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

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 and Mrs. Hardy (Gertrude Astor) are hoping for a quiet night alone, but Stan and Mrs. Laurel (Linda Loredo) come along spoiling this. To make the best of the evening, Ollie and Stan go out to buy some ice cream, only afterwards to spot Kate (Mae Busch), wanted by the police, jumping into the river. She blackmails them to take her with them, or she'll tell people they tried to kill her. So near misses, amusing methods of disguising noise and a small chase or two follow as they try to hide Kate from their wives, until eventually the police show up. Ollie points Stan out to be responsible, not realising whoever finds her gets $1000 reward, and it ends with Stan going down the drain of the bath, or as Ollie says, "he's gone to the beach". Filled with good slapstick and all classic comedy you want from a black and white film, it is an enjoyable silent film. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were number 7 on The Comedians' Comedian. Worth watching!

Michael_Elliott Come Clean (1931) *** (out of 4) Laurel and Hardy save a woman from killing herself only to have her follow them home, which will get them in trouble with their wives. Plenty of funny segments here including the fight to save the woman and their attempt to buy some ice cream.Politiquerias (1931) ** (out of 4) Spanish version of Chickens Come Home once again suffers from sluggish Spanish-spoken dialogue from Laurel and Hardy. Two extra sequences were added for this Spanish version and they hurt more than they help.

MartinHafer The beginning of this film is an almost exact copy of SHOULD MARRIED MEN GO HOME, as Ollie and his wife are trying to spend a quiet evening ALONE, but Stanley (and in this case with his wife) show up unannounced. Ollie and his wife hide and pretend they aren't home, but to no avail. Then, you soon notice that Ollie's wife is a pretty bossy and mean piece of work and she begins nagging him unmercifully. Stan wants ice cream, so he and Ollie leave to bring some back for everyone. On the way back, they catch a woman who appears to be trying to drown herself. Instead of being grateful, she is a major pest who follows them home and tries to make their lives miserable (a rather unbelievable turn of events, I know). And the last portion of the film consists of the boys trying in vain to stop this woman from revealing herself to the wives.As far as the film goes, it's funny stuff, but also pretty forced. It's awfully familiar and ordinary. Not a bad film, but also not particularly memorable.

Ron Oliver A LAUREL & HARDY Comedy Short.Stan & Ollie save the life of a bizarre woman attempting to drown herself. Instead of gratitude, the ferocious female follows them home, ensconcing herself in Ollie's bedroom & demanding money. Not wanting to COME CLEAN to their wives only makes the problem much worse...A hilarious little film. Highlight: Stan in the bathtub. That's Mae Busch as the female (her name is misspelled in the opening credits) & Charlie Hall as the soda jerk.
