A good movie

I have noticed that many classic movies starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are available on YouTube and since I loved these guys so much when I was a kid, I thought it would be the opportunity to rediscover their work. Well, according to IMDb, it is the most popular movie they have ever made so my expectations were pretty high but, to be honest, I thought the damned thing turned out to be slightly disappointing. Sure, it was quite entertaining, no doubt about it, but I never thought it was really hilarious. I mean, for 30 mins, you get to see the famous duo trying to bring a piano up some seemingly endless stairs and, then, they pretty much destroyed the whole house where they were supposed to deliver this piano. Well, it felt rather slim but I guess this short comedies were never about the plot but they were all about the slapstick comedy and, of course, Laurel and Hardy were some of the greatest masters in this genre. My favorite bit was probably when they turned on this wretched piano and started to dance around, that was actually really good. Anyway, to conclude, even if I expected more from it, it was still a solid vintage comedy and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
