They are stuck in a traffic jam and hilarious destruction of automobiles. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member One of their funniest shorts. Not unlike Big Business in structure. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Didn't understand why we should root for either character. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Laurel and Hardy know how to milk a bit for all its worth - this one goes on just a little too long, but it's worth a look and several good laughs. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
