Movie Reviews of Our Relations

Movie Review: A double delight!
Summary: 5 Stars

Rarely seen these days, "Our Relations" finally gets more exposure with its DVD release. Helmed by Stan Laurel's production company, it's a surprisingly handsome production for a comedy. The lavishly detailed sets (particularly the nightclub sequence) show every single dollar on film.
But enough about production values. The real stars are, of course, Stan & Ollie as they deftly play two sets of identical twins; one set as civilians, the other set as sailors thought to have been hanged at sea for participating in a mutiny. As the sailor twins set foot on dry land and slowly intersect with the comic shenanigans of their other twins, the fun begins as characters confuse one set for the other. This plot device has been used countless times, from the silent era all the way up to Bette Midler & Lily Tomlin in "Big Business". But in Laurel & Hardy's hands, they milk it for all it's worth.
The film is climaxed by a brilliantly conceived sight gag: Through mistaken identity (and the possession of a valuable ring), one set of twins is captured by gangsters who encase the boys' feet in cement trays with rounded bottoms. The result: The boys teeter & totter this way & that, never falling over, but providing many hilarious visuals until they finally tumble off the pier. Laurel invented this gag after finding a restaurant ashtray in a similar shape which never toppled but rocked to & fro.
"Our Relations" is a rare L&H comedy that no fan of the great duo should be without.
