Movie Reviews of Pardon Us (Laurel & Hardy)

Movie Review: Stan and Ollie's Hilarious Feature Debut
Summary: 4 Stars

"Pardon Us" gets a bad rap from several critics and historians who consider the film incredibly padded. Despite a rather thin plot, Laurel and Hardy's first feature-length comedy holds up among their better efforts while retaining the hilarious spirit of the Hal Roach two-reelers. A 1931 prison spoof, "Pardon Us" benefits from its increased budget (the penitentiary sets are quite impressive), a fine supporting cast and some charming musical numbers - particularly Ollie's rendition of "Lazy Moon." The scene where Stan and Ollie maintain a cell-bound conversation in complete darkness has a bleak quality reminiscent of Samuel Beckett. As the thugish "Tiger," Walter Hall remains the quintessential L&H heavy. Though it's great to have the pre-release version, this DVD should have included the final theatrical cut for comparison.
