Me and My Pal (1933)
5/10
'Tis a puzzlement!
29 October 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Both marriage in general and the choice of Oliver Hardy as the groom. He'd rather be putting together a jigsaw than waiting for James Finlayson's daughter to walk down the aisle, and when Stanley has an "in memorial" wreath sent to the wedding instead of flowers, Finlayson, playing wealthy Mr. Peter Cucumber, goes berserk. "I don't care if he's Mr. Dill Pickle", a policeman searching for a missing puzzle piece declares. It's all in a day's work for Stanley who forgets to give Oliver an important telegram. Only slightly amusing, the premise ends up being funnier than what happens on screen, reminding luckless grooms that marriage can fall into jigsaw puzzle pieces almost as fast as Stanley can get Oliver into another fine mess.
