WAY OUT WEST

I love Laurel & Hardy. They were comedy genius' that nobody can ever replace. These 2 gentlemen are the funniest people that ever lived.

Way Out West is one the best films in my opinion. When I was a kid I watched this film so many times, and every time I laughed just as much as the last time.

The story is about these 2 men who have to go and see a young lady to give her the bad news about her fathers death and hand over a deed to a gold mine that he left for her. When her guardians hear about the deed, they trick the 2 men into handing over the deed to them. Their mission is now to get the deed back and hand it to the correct person.

This really is so funny that I have tears running down my face every time I see it... but it is like that when I watch any Laurel & Hardy film. There are so many memorable scenes in this movie. One of my favourites is when Stan & Ollie are running around a room with the 2 guardians fighting over the deed, then Stan puts the deed down his top, but when the lady tries to take it out she is tickling him... when he starts laughing I can't help but laugh so hard it hurts. Stan has the most convincing and contagious laugh ever!

This film also has one the most famous Laurel & Hardy songs... Trail of the Lonesome Pine, which reached number 2 in the charts when it was released on single.

The film is only on for an hour, but it is really worth watching. The film was made in 1937, so as you can imagine the effects and picture are not brilliant, but for it's time it was amazing.

The film also stars James Finlayson. James starred in a lot of other Laurel & Hardy movies and shorts... he has such a funny face. The expressions he pulls in these movies is hilarious. I always look forward to seeing James in the films when I watch them.

Other stars were Sharon Lynn & Rosina Lawrence.

Stan and Ollie have the greatest partnership ever in cinema. They work so well together and even though they fight through most of their films, you can see they have such a respect and love for each other. It really is amazing. They have perfect comedy timing and their faces can be so funny when they just look at the camera.

This is the first film I have reviewed that is going to get 10 out of 10.

This is pure genius and a classic... and even though we have been without Stand and Ollie for a lot of years now... their movies and comedy never get's old or out dated. I have met a lot of famous people in my life and got a lot of autographs, but I am so gutted I am too young to have met these guys. That would be the best meeting ever!
