Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

The friendship of confirmed bachelors Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy is put to the test when Ollie falls head over heels for a museum curator's daughter. As escorts for a sacred Egyptian exhibit, sponsored by a mysterious importer, the boys are blamed when the mummy of Pharoah Houtah turns up missing. The hijacks turn hair- raising as Stan and Ollie run from the importer, the police and the rampaging, re- animated remains of the 3,000-year-old mummy, who intends to make Ollie's dreamgirl his bride.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not THAT bad! Relatives, not Imitators!, August 8, 2005
By Daniel (Virginia) - See all my reviews
I love Laurel & Hardy- they were the greatest comedy team in history. One reason for their greatness(and Oliver Hardy said it best)is that "comedy is hard to do". I disagree with the other reviews that this is a bad film- definatly not "5 stars", but not "rock bottom" either. ALSO, it is NOT a "remake" as other reviews have stated. Bronson Pinchot and Gailard Sartain portray the nephew's of the elder Laurel & Hardy(you hear them mention their uncle's, "Stan & Olie", if you listen carefully. They are just "chips off the old block". I think it's worth at least one viewing for any Laurel&Hardy fan. Not that bad!

5.0 out of 5 stars fun for the kids, October 31, 2005
It's too bad that so many Laurel and Hardy fans can't take this for what it is: harmless fun for kids to watch at Halloween time. I went into this knowing it was aimed at little kids and involved the "nephews" of Laurel and Hardy, a rampaging mummy, the director of Ernest, Bozo the clown, and "cousin Balkie". I found it to be cute and kids love it. That makes it OK in my book.

5.0 out of 5 stars good-natured tribute, July 7, 2007
Just scroll down. Read the hate filled tantrum of the enraged Laurel and Hardy fan who brags about "hating everyone" while disgustingly using the victims of 911 in a twisted tirade against customers whose children like this movie. That is just one bizarre example of the excessive negativity that has plagued Laurel and Hardy fandom for decades.

Numerous Laurel and Hardy fans have traditionally hated many of the films starring Stan and Ollie. Consider THE BIG NOISE. Excessively negative fans hate it. NOTHING BUT TROUBLE? Hated. THE JITTER BUGS? Hated. THE AIR RAID WARDENS? Hated. THE DANCING MASTERS? Hated. UTOPIA? Hated. A HAUNTING WE WILL GO? Hated. THE BULLFIGHTERS? Hated. It's not surprising then that they hate this children's movie featuring fictional relatives of Laurel and Hardy.

Even the mere suggestion of children having fun watching this movie is hated. The previous post, with its disgusting comments about the tragedy of 911, demonstrates that hatred. It also shows how ugly some Laurel and Hardy fans can be. Sick remarks about 911 aren't even considered off limits. Such negativity demonstrates why good-natured Laurel and Hardy tributes deserve some credit.

Laurel and Hardy comics and cartoons filled me with joy as a child. They didn't fill me with hate. They were respectful, good-natured, and uplifting. This movie is another respectful and good-natured tribute, but it never had a chance of uplifting the spirits of the negatively inclined fans. Laurel and Hardy themselves ultimately couldn't even do that. The Boy's final feature films have been the objects of excessive hatred for years.

1.0 out of 5 stars Talk about a bad film!
This film was the worst Laurel & Hardy ever; in fact they must have turned over in their graves when it was made.
Being L&H imitaters is no excuse.
