BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Hitchcoc As is usually the case, a series of unfortunate events lead to the near destruction of Oliver Hardy. Ollie would like the day off but his wife insists that he finally get on the roof and adjust the radio antenna. Of course, he will need someone to help and we know who that is. After destroying the chimney, there are continuous hilarious mishaps, including bricks falling on Ollie's head. It is classic to watch him sit there, thinking each brick is the last and the another falls. Oliver was the master of the despairing victim. Stanley means well but is a horror when it comes to fixing things. Eventually, Stan makes the mistake of tying a rope to the car to anchor the big guy. Well, it's expected and, once again, a delight. The car starting scene with Stan is stunningly funny.

bkoganbing Stan and Ollie managed to milk a lot of gags into the simple act of putting up a radio antenna. This is necessary because that hatchet faced harridan of a wife that Ollie is married to simply has to hear the broadcasts from radio Tokyo.This particular short subject Hog Wild really is one that Ollie takes center stage with. At first it's just him and wife Fay Holderness looking for his hat and of course that familiar derby is right where hats usually are.After that it's a contest to see how many ways can Ollie fall from the roof of a house. That's actually dangerous business I had a cousin who died from injuries sustained from falling from a roof. Still when Ollie does it, it's entertaining. The roof business is more like something I would have expected from the Three Stooges.It ends with Stanley driving away with Ollie on top of a ladder that was attached to the car. It looks like a runaway hook and ladder with poor Ollie hanging on for dear life and Stanley with that look of pure innocence not figuring just to pull the car to gradual stop to solve the problem he created.But this timeless stuff is why Stan and Ollie remain popular.

Steve Pulaski Hog Wild concerns Hardy, who wants nothing more than to go out on the town with Laurel until his wife insists that he install a radio antenna atop their roof. Hardy still winds up inviting Laurel over to help him with such a project, which will of course go awry in a multitude of different ways. For starters, the roof begins to fall apart due to the carelessness of the men, and eventually results in an epic (for the time), collision, sending the boys into a complete tailspin of idiocy.Hog Wild is standard slapstick Laurel and Hardy fare, but it provides for a certain kind of "one thing leads to another" setup that keeps it going longer than if it was just an assortment of gags (which it still is at times). The verbal banter between the two men is downplayed, and the only real kind of situational gag imposed is at the very beginning of the film, where Hardy is searching for his hat that he is scolding his wife (Fay Holderness) for misplacing when it is already on his head. Certain gags like this feel like cop-outs and deliberate distractions from the fact that the film has nothing going on under its head (sort of like Laurel and Hardy themselves).The short turns a bit more captivating towards the end, when all hell really starts breaking loose. Laurel and Hardy shorts have a traditional potboiler effect to their drama, where events escalate faster than the audience can keep up in the best way possible. Hog Wild has that effect in a low-key sense, making it at least marginally interesting even if the action and the wit isn't as substantial as it could be. This is a fine, effective short all around, despite lacking in the area that Laurel and Hardy are best in, which is verbal banter and quirky exchanges.Starring: Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, and Fay Holderness.

Leofwine_draca HOG WILD is one of the early talkies made by Laurel and Hardy. It starts off on a bad note, with a laboured comedy routine involving Ollie losing his hat (it's on his head the whole time) and getting involved in a massive argument with his wife. This bit is shrill, histrionic and irritating. Then Stan shows up and the two attempt to fit a new aerial on the roof, and it suddenly gets very good.The best Laurel & Hardy shorts were the ones with them attempting to complete a job and this film is no exception. Much of it takes place on a single rooftop and there's plenty of opportunity for the high-power slapstick that fans know and love from the duo. This time around, the pratfalls invariably involve characters falling from a great height, and such moments never fail to elicit a laugh.HOG WILD sustains its running time very well, but in the last five minutes things suddenly take a turn for the even more extreme and it becomes a classic indeed with one of the best sequences ever of the troublesome twosome's career. Basically, it involves a car, a ladder, and...well, just go watch it, as you won't be disappointed!
