5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless comedy, 27 Mar 2008
By KN (Lancs. UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Yet another classic Laurel & Hardy film. Stan has stayed on the trenches in WWI France for many years without realising the war had ended. He finally gets brought home to be met by Oli who feels sorry for him and promises that his wife will cook him a nice meal. However, things don't quite work out that way as Oli's better half doesn't like Stan very much and promptly leaves Oli. Stan also causes Oli to get beaten up in a street-brawl with our favourite supporting actor James Findlayson, and by one of the neighbours. The despondent looks on Oli's face every time things go wrong are just priceless. The movie was also watchable in colour but it doesn't quite seem right or necessary as these movies are more at home in black and white.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Laurel and Hardy, 1 May 2005
By Freddie Valentine "lordfreddievalentine" (Berkshire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Another great disc of L&H, if you are a true fanatic then you are probably better off going for the 21 disc box set but this contains the excellent full length film BLOCKHEADS plus the shorts UNACCUSTOMED AS WE ARE, WITH LOVE AND HISSES and SHOULD MARRIED MEN GO HOME?
There are also 'colourised' versions of Blockheads and Unnaccustomed on this disc and a booklet with some info about the films.

5.0 out of 5 stars The worlds greatest double act, 18 Jan 2009
By Bob Salter "Sandman" (Wiltshire, England) - See all my reviews
Until I watched this smashing DVD the other day I had forgotten just how good Stan and Ollie were. They truly were the kings of comedy. Nobody was better before them, and certainly nobody since. As you will see from the films contained in this DVD, they spanned the silent and sound periods with effortless ease.

The showcase film in this selection is of course "Blockheads" and quite rightly so. It uses many of the ideas from "Unaccustomed as we are" an earlier film also contained in this DVD. But you will see how the duo have refined and honed their comedy to perfection in the later film. That old innocent child like face of the silent films, Harry Langdon was one of the writers. The idea of a forgotten soldier of the first world war, unaware that the war had ended, was almost certainly contributed by him, whose own starring comedy "Soldier Man" used that same premise. Funnily enough in light of the forgotten Japanese soldiers of the second World war, it was not so far fetched after all.

The film abounds with hilarious sketches. Ollie finds Stan in a wheelchair at the soldiers home and mistakenly believes him to have one leg. Stan driving through the garage door having missed the automatic opening pad. The "big fight" with that old stalwart Frank Finlayson who also appears in "With love and Hisses". The cooking fiasco. The domestic tribulations. An unfortunate misunderstanding over a neighbours wife. It is all utterly brilliant.

It was nice to watch the earlier films to see how the duo developed their unique comedic style. "With love and hisses" showed many glimpses of what they would become, and is a thoroughly engaging short. Overall these are lovingly restored pictures and they are a credit to the memory of those timeless masters of comedy.

I can only heartily recommend this DVD to you. It is a reminder of just how great comedy once was. Laurel and Hardy needed no modern gimmicks to make you laugh. They just did it.
