2.0 out of 5 stars Not one of their greats, but a typical, topical '40s comedy., 13 Mar 2000
By A Customer
This military comedy is Laurel & Hardy's answer to Abbott & Costello's "Buck Privates." A lame script doesn't do Stan and Ollie justice, but there are a few big laughs (including an "inspection" scene with Laurel stashing a crow down Hardy's trousers). A good supporting cast of familiar faces helps. Watch for a young Alan Ladd in one scene.

4.0 out of 5 stars Maybe not traditional L & H, but still great fun., 8 Sep 2008
Stan and Ollie play servants, their master a man who is being kept back from WW2 call-up by his quack doctor and rich aunties. When it is revealed he is in fact perfectly able-bodied, Stan and Ollie can but accompany their young master to protect him from the horrors of army training camp. This film is often panned by critics as being 'the beginning of the end' for Laurel and Hardy. True, they are very out of character and a lot of jokes tend to revolve around their physical appearances. But taken on its own, this is a highly entertaining and enjoyable film. There are plenty of classic L & H moments (trying to hide a crow down Hardy's trousers during inspection, the duo sneaking a ride back to camp on a vehicle which turns out to be a moving target for a rifle range), and the hilariously mean-spirited Sergeant Hippo makes a memorable foil. A lot better than most '40s Laurel and Hardy and certainly high above most comedy films of today which all too often seem to rely on sex and swearng for ther 'humour'.
