When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This attempt to update the classic comedy partnership for a new generation simply isn't very funny due to the weak writing and lacklustre material. It takes two Laurel & Hardy imitators and throws them in the middle of a frankly puerile story involving evil foreigners, a re-animated mummy, and even a random CGI snake at the climax. Whether you find all this funny or not depends on your taste for comedy, but I'm afraid I thought it was pretty awful.The good thing about this is that Bronson Pinchot and Gailard Sartain do passable imitations of the famous duo, with Pinchot capturing Stan's voice and mannerisms remarkably well. What a pity, then, that they don't get to go through many of the classic slapstick routines. Most of the jokes consist of them bumbling around or falling over, and there's none of the wittiness of the old 1930s version. The poor writing is particularly noticeable in the dialogue scenes between the pair. Most of all you just feel sorry for F. Murray Abraham for appearing in this.

When I first heard of a 'remake' of the old Laurel & Hardy films, I thought it would be terrible. But after seeing the movie, I take it back! Bronson Pinchot and Gailard Sartain pay great tribute to the late comedy team with their performance.

The Laurel & Hardy impersonations were pretty good, but that aside it was a fairly weak movie. The "damsel in distress" was not very engaging, the villain seemed out of place, and the less important characters contributed very little to the movie. If you want to see an entertaining movie with Laurel-and-Hardy-like characters, you'd probably enjoy "The Impostors" more than this one. If you want to watch Laurel & Hardy, get the real thing.

I'm a SON OF THE DESERT. The Boys were what pure laughter arising from the norm was all about. No attempt should ever be made to recreate that. It was unique and stands alone for the ages. No one would try to remake Michelangelo's Pieta, nor restructure Beethoven's Fifth. Yes, their comedy achieved the level of great art. Can anyone say why they lasted all those years, and after seventy-odd years, the world continues to demand their films?
