Truly Dreadful Film
Save your money for something good and enjoyable
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Mutt has been appointed the judge at a dog show. He persuades Jeff to dress in a dog costume and they will split the prize money.This Mutt & Jeff cartoon spends a lot of budget on some good backgrounding and compensates for the expense by a lot of cheating -- cyclical or repetitive action that is cheaper than in-betweening a new sequence. Notice the crowd of dogs in pursuit of Jeff; a short sequence of different dogs repeats several times, as does the motion of that old stand-by of the vaudeville stage, the Automatic Sausage Machine, which had first appeared in the movies thirty years earlier.There are also some good gags, including a Limburger gag. The best involves what happens to Mutt when he is pursuing the runaway dogs.
