Laurel and Hardy - BRATS ================ This is a single DVD Starring the eternally funny Laurel and Hardy.
The Boys: ======== Stan Laurel (June 16 1890 – February 23 1965). Real name Arthur Stanley Jefferson. Stan was born in Lancashire but toured with Charlie Chaplin and hence on one tour ended up in America. He had ‘Arrived’
Oliver Hardy (January 18 1892 – August 7 1957). Real name Norvell Hardy. Ollie was born in Harlem, Georgia and his mother was apparently responsible for him going into theatre. Right from early childhood Ollie had a beautiful singing voice. Soon the two would meet.
They first appeared together in a silent movie called ‘Slipping Wives’ in 1927. The rest is history.
This film has some 'Special effects' in it. I use the word loosely. The furniture, beds, tables etc.. In some shots have obviously been built extra large.
Stan and Ollie have been entrusted by their wives to baby sit their children. Their two boys are played of course by themselves. The boys play little kids who constantly fight and bicker as only they can. This winds Ollie up no end; it doesn't help his mood that he is also getting beat at draughts by Stan! In the end after a particularly loud crash the 'Kids' are sent to bed. Stan accidentally leaves a tap running in the bathroom after brushing his teeth and the bathroom starts to build and build with water. Stan and Ollie come to tuck the children in and Ollie junior asks for a glass of water.... Well you can guess the rest.
Here we find their usual brand of ‘Cartoon Humour’ where no one actually gets hurt but it all looks very painful. A wonderfully inventive and fun packed film. They employ every trick they have learned over their careers and put it to great use in this short film.
Lots of their prat falls, slaps and gags packed into this little gem of a film.
No extras to speak of but you really only need Laurel and Hardy to have a good time. Runtime 20 minutes, but it’s a very funny 20 Mins.

When you watch L&H you realise just how rubbish and unoriginal today's comedy acts are. Laurel and Hardy today still get more laughs and not a bit of sex humour or inuendo in sight. It seems these days its the ONLY way to get a laugh.
