Boys will be boys

"Brats" is a Laurel/Hardy 20-minute comedy short film from 85 years ago. It has sound already, but is still black-and-white. This film could also have the title of my review here (actually a quote out of the film) and one would wonder who are the brats in this video, who are the boys? At least the mini versions of Stan and Ollie have the excuse that their age somewhat allows them to be chaotic and immature, but the big ones are at least as bad. This is certainly a fairly unique plot here with the grown-ups taking care of their young selves. Other than that, it's the usual Laurel & Hardy. i think they are always very funny and entertaining to watch with all the chaos they cause. And obviously, a billiard queue in the hands of Ollie is absolutely not a good idea. A bit surprising to see that there are 5 writers listed here for a 20.minute movie. But it's not a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth and it's one of these rare films with the legendary comedy duo that has no other actors in the cast. Good watch, I recommend it.
