Jason R @J-Rush1411 Jun 25, 2026 Yes worth a watch, Laurel and Hardy do great in this, it is enjoyable to watch them together See more Perry W @RT92020859 Feb 21, 2025 One off the last great Laurel and Hardy film, a must watch See more Eric P @RT06161622 Jul 27, 2022 The iconic duo Laurel and Hardy join the French Foreign Legion in The Flying Deuces. As much as I am a fan of Laurel and Hardy and their films, I wasn't that fond of The Flying Deuces. Even though I love their performances as always and thought the film was pretty funny, The Flying Deuces felt like a B-movie sadly due to the fact the sound and music were very annoying. Speaking of annoying, the editing was pretty odd at times. Regardless of the bad qualities that I have stated, Laurel and Hardy in The Flying Deuces is still an adequate motion picture simply because of Laurel and Hardy putting on a great performance as always with the addition of the film being pretty funny. See more Nov 3, 2021 The story is based on a joke popular in that era-Oliver joins the French Foreign Legion to forget a girl he had fallen in love with but couldn't have (because she is married). He and Stan join the Legion, do some bumbling, and then learn that being in the French Foreign Legion doesn't pay much, so they elect to leave. Unfortunately they find they cannot, and are tried for desertion and sentenced to death. They try to fly away in a stolen airplane, though neither actually know how to pilot said plane. There are good bits-where Stan plays a set of bedsprings like a harp, and where they make their escape from confinement. But many of the other gags are hardly funny. Laurel and Hardy may have been the original "fat and thin man" comedy duo, but Art Carney and Jackie Gleason did a far better job.

'The Flying Deuces' features the talents of iconic duo Laurel and Hardy. Despite knowing of them for as long as I can remember, I can't say I've seen much - if anything - of them before this. I look forward to seeing more in the future, but hopefully they're a tad better than this. This is solid enough, as I said I did feel amused at a few moments. A more interesting plot would've peaked my interest more, as would less of the overly obvious comedy. Very meh, for me. See more Read all reviews
