1.0 out of 5 stars Utopia only for the hardcore, July 1, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Flying Deuces/Utopia (DVD)
If you are a fan of Laurel & Hardy then give Utopia a miss. It is a crime that such a great comedy duo should have bowed out of cinema with such a calamitous come-back such as this film was. The pair looked tired and well past their use-by-date (Hardy died six years later). I found myself confronting my own mortality as I saw the two old men bumbling about the screen. I tried to laugh because it WAS Laurel & Hardy but it was an empty laugh, like I owed it to them because their former selves had given me so many laughs in earlier films. A comedy it was not, more a tragedy then anything else. Basically I will say this: if you are just a fan who likes to laugh at their antics then give Utopia a big miss, you will feel empty and disappointed that they ended up like they did - if you are a hardcore fan who wants to see/have all their films then by all means subject yourself to Utopia.

2.0 out of 5 stars Madacy ruins yet another classic DVD, April 8, 2003
This review is from: The Flying Deuces/Utopia (DVD)
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the studios really need to stop letting tiny, amateur production companies release their movies on DVD. This Laurel & Hardy DVD is a prime example of why. The most obvious and infuriating problem is that the soundtrack is not synched up to the action; it's about 2 seconds behind. Unless you enjoy "the boys" looking like a dubbed Japanese movie, this is going to drive you crazy. The picture quality is also really poor; I have a VHS copy of "Flying Deuces" that looks better than this. The trivia game was a nice idea, but poorly executed; "what color is Stan Laurel's hair?" How would I know---all their movies are in BLACK AND WHITE! Oy. I thought I was getting a nice double feature for a good price, but I ended up getting what I paid for: cheap movies. Save your money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not their best, not their worst., April 23, 2001
By Robert Bauer (Astoria, N.Y. USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although I am a big Laurel and Hardy fan I will be totally honest about this dvd. In a way I am glad to have these two films on dvd. The quality on the two films do differ. However I feel that the version of Utopia is far superior than the version that was available on video tape. The version of The Flying Deuces is not bad, but it is out of sync. Both versions are complete american versions(the european version of Utopia is longer than the american version) but until that version is available this will sufice. Granted Utopia all around is generally a bad film, but compared to their 1940-1945 films at MGM and 20th Century Fox where they had no say or control on the films they were making, it in a way shows some of thier old style and gags from their Hal Roach films. Stan Laurel was very ill during production and it definitely shows in his appearance and he later regretted completing this film. Today I am glad, as I am sure many people are ,that he at least was able to finish the film. In closing until better versions become available this dvd even though far from perfect is still ok.
