Audience Member This was uproarious, greatly because of Ben Turpin, the wildly cross-eyed comedian, who often brings to mind the more-recent Marty Feldman from Mel Brooks' pictures, who as the Justice of the Peace accidentally marries Ollie not to his equally-plump fiancée, but to you-know-who. Hilarious and highly recommended to any fan of comedy. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Mike M One of the duo's patchier two-reelers: the crowded car routine now appears overworked, and it ends with a lot of unresolved tensions. The best material suggests a treatise on the impossibility of romance in this particular universe (ct. Keaton, Chaplin, Lloyd), as signalled most explicitly by the abuses wrought on a poor, defenceless wedding cake: first introduced as a nesting place for flies (who seem to be enjoying a better lovelife than anybody else here), it ends up sprayed with toxins before being destroyed comprehensively when the Hardy girth is flung atop it - the kind of terrible fate that might also await the future Mrs. H were she not such a sturdy type herself. The highlight: the cross-eyed Justice of the Peace, one of these shorts' funniest supporting characters. Hat damage: Ollie has cake icing smeared over his topper, just to rub it in.
