Perry W One off the last great Laurel and Hardy film, a must watch Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 05 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review Audience Member The iconic duo Laurel and Hardy join the French Foreign Legion in The Flying Deuces. As much as I am a fan of Laurel and Hardy and their films, I wasn't that fond of The Flying Deuces. Even though I love their performances as always and thought the film was pretty funny, The Flying Deuces felt like a B-movie sadly due to the fact the sound and music were very annoying. Speaking of annoying, the editing was pretty odd at times. Regardless of the bad qualities that I have stated, Laurel and Hardy in The Flying Deuces is still an adequate motion picture simply because of Laurel and Hardy putting on a great performance as always with the addition of the film being pretty funny. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member The story is based on a joke popular in that era-Oliver joins the French Foreign Legion to forget a girl he had fallen in love with but couldn't have (because she is married). He and Stan join the Legion, do some bumbling, and then learn that being in the French Foreign Legion doesn't pay much, so they elect to leave. Unfortunately they find they cannot, and are tried for desertion and sentenced to death. They try to fly away in a stolen airplane, though neither actually know how to pilot said plane. There are good bits-where Stan plays a set of bedsprings like a harp, and where they make their escape from confinement. But many of the other gags are hardly funny. Laurel and Hardy may have been the original "fat and thin man" comedy duo, but Art Carney and Jackie Gleason did a far better job. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny, memories from the time we were in the cinema as children in the 50s Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review r 9 A few chuckles and it flies by, can't say I massively enjoyed it though. 'The Flying Deuces' features the talents of iconic duo Laurel and Hardy. Despite knowing of them for as long as I can remember, I can't say I've seen much - if anything - of them before this. I look forward to seeing more in the future, but hopefully they're a tad better than this. This is solid enough, as I said I did feel amused at a few moments. A more interesting plot would've peaked my interest more, as would less of the overly obvious comedy. Very meh, for me.
