Synopsis

In this Laurel and Hardy comedy classic, the boys are connived into enlisting. After trying their darndest to fit in, they can't even march correctly, forcing their frustrated drill sergeant to assign them to the one detail he thinks they can handle--the kitchen. Stan and Ollie prove even KP is beyond their ken when they dump rubbish on the general's floor. After cooling their heels in the brig, the bumbling pair, along with buddy Eddie Smith, move to the front. When Eddie is killed in action, Stan and Ollie track down Eddie's young daughter, who has been taken in by abusive foster parents. Stan and Ollie take the girl to find her grandparents. Unfortunately, the only clue to the elderly couple's whereabouts is their last name--Smith. Three days, one hour and 56 minutes later, Stan and Ollie still haven't found the girl's grandparents, so they resort to desperate--and very funny--measures.

4.0 out of 5 stars 2 very good and one OK, 6 Sep 2007
By S J Buck (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Settle back and watch the greatest comedy double act, in both an excellent full length movie (68mins) as well as two shorts (21mins and 19mins).

'Pack Up Your Troubles' is not quite up there with 'Sons of the Desert' or 'Way Out West' but at just over the hour its funny and entertaining. L&H join up (or rather are joined up) to fight in the first world war in 1917. There best friend is killed in the war leaving behind a very young daughter who L&H have to look after until they can locate the Grandparents. The main problem is that the sirname they are looking for is Smith. This leads to a multitude of mishaps and misunderstandings.

As always when James Finlayson appears in a L&H film you know it'll be good. In this one its only a five minute cameo role as a General who L&H deliver a load of rubbish to while hes eating his breakfast - DOH.

Of the shorts the better of the two is 'Their First Mistake' (1932), which has a similar theme to 'Pack Up Your Troubles'. 'Putting Pants on Philip' (1927) is an early silent from the very beginning of their partnership and its a bit of a one joke film. Still it has some good moments, but by later standards is pretty average.

The remainder of the disc contains two colourised versions of 'Pack Up Your Troubles' and 'Their First Mistake'. I won't bother to watch these. L&H are black and white and will remain so for me. The space on the DVD could have been better used. Its a minor quibble that does not detract from the usual high levels of comedy in the black and white originals.
