Be Big (1931):
It's got a good cast and great dialogue. The
only problem is that they stretched out one routine for almost the
entire length of this lengthy short (about 27 minutes). At first,
it's funny to see Laurel try to remove Hardy's tight boots. But
after a few minutes it just gets tiresome and you wish something would
happen.
The general plot idea of this is a lot like their later feature "Sons of the Desert" (1933). Laurel & Hardy want to go to a party, so Hardy feigns illness. While the wives are away, the boys plan to go to the party. But L&H struggle with Hardy's tight boots, leave too late, and are caught by their wives.
The actresses that play their wives are stunning. Both of which start out in the film sweeter than sweet, but when they find out about the boys' scheme, get storming mad.
