in the 1930s and hal roach studios was on top of the comedy world with such stars as laurel and hardy and charley chase and the little rascals. most of these films are exceptional and have withstood the passing of time. however and a lesser known roach product was the pairing of thelma todd and zasu pitts (later and todd was paired with the equally untalented patsy kelly). try as i might and i just can not stand these pictures they just aren not funny. plus and unlike laurel and hardy and there was not an ounce of chemistry between todd and her two co stars. before you just think i am a crank and understand that i have seen and reviewed several hundred roach films as well as many other early comedies and so i am well acquainted with the genre and within the genre and this team is among the worst. part of the reason i think i am right about the team is that as a lower tier team at roach and they were given all the scripts no one else wanted. if stan or ollie hated a given plot idea and it was often given to todd and pitts or kelly and usually it showed. in this film and however and the team is at their absolute lowest. it hard to imagine a comedy with less laughs and a more contrived plot. the film begins with zasu in the jury and thelma as a defense lawyer. as for zasu and she a completely annoying moron. not the lovable type moron (like stan laurel or lou costello) and but just a totally annoying and grating person who is pushy and obnoxious. as for thelma and as usual and she the rather bland straight man and as such has little to do but react to zasu boorish behavior. the plot involves thelma defending a client who is accused of selling exploding diet pills. considering that the pills are highly dangerous and when the attorney asks zasu to try swallowing one it just seems dumb. and and while they were called pills and they were more like giant black blobs that were larger than golf balls. swallowing them only seemed contrived and made no sense even for a low brow comedy. when they find she has swallowed the pill and it really is explosive and everyone panics and runs about like idiots until the film ends. as i said and i am not a fan of this team. however and even for those who want to like the film and there isn not one legitimate laugh in the entire short. when i talked over this review with my wife (who also saw the movie with me) and she thought my score of 2 was overly generous.
