I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Admirable film.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The boys travel to Scotland because Stanley has been named in the will of a rich relative. When they get there, they find they have inherited a set of bagpipes and a snuff box. Now they are broke and forced to find a way to survive. After a hilarious scene in their hotel room, as they try to cook a fish, they are cast into the street. They mistakenly volunteer for the British army and are sent to India. The British imperialists are running the country. We are treated to racism, as the self-centered Scots are running the country. There are series of fun scenes, particularly those involving Jimmy Finlayson. There is also a hilarious scene where the other soldiers explain what a mirage is. The down side of the story has to do with a silly romance between a young heiress and her simple boyfriend. Not a bad offering for our guys.

Well, half a good Laurel and Hardy movie is better than none. This comedy begins well, as Stan and Ollie visit a small village in Scotland hoping to secure a huge inheritance for Stan (aka "Stanley McLaurel", HA HA HA!) after a dear departed one of his has passed on. The duo are devastated when they find out what the "fortune" is (I'll leave that as a hilarious surprise). From here, the boys are involved in center stage antics as they run out of money and have to make ends meet in a boarding house where they do not disappoint their audience. Then, halfway through, L&H wind up joining the army, the action moves to India, and the comedy team takes a back seat to a very uninteresting love story between other characters. It's a shame, because the first part of the movie is so much fun. To make the situation even more overbearing, the romantic lead man here, played by William Janney, is a real silly geek and unworthy of our attention. **1/2 out of ****

Laurel and Hardy go to Scotland, because Laurel has an inheritance there from his Scottish uncle.In Scotland boys join the Indian army-by accident.Bonnie Scotland is a nice Laurel and Hardy comedy from 1935.It has some very funny parts, like when the boys are making the fish and who could forget the dancing scene with the boys.

This time, Laurel and Hardy are off to Scotland to collect an inheritance from Laurel's uncle Angus Ian McLaurel. This is one of their more elaborate features, as they proceed to joining the Indian Army and fighting off the Arabs who are invading the country. Directed by perennial L&H director, James Horne. Great score, culminating Scottish folk tunes and the usual classic score by Marvin Hatley.
