Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

This time, Stan and Ollie help convict a criminal who swears revenge on them, forcing them to try and leave town. Sure enough, all manner of mishaps result. I think that my favorite part of "Going Bye-Bye" was the whole scene with the telephone. It's the sort of movie where you could turn off the sound and it would still be a riot.One can see Laurel and Hardy's influence on the relationship between Gilligan and the Skipper. The characters in Gore Verbinski's "Mouse Hunt" also do a lot of things that are similar to Laurel and Hardy. It just goes to show that these guys were a comedy team for the ages. I understand that they co-starred in a movie in the early 1920s a few years before they became a team - and Hardy had appeared in a number of shorts, billed as Babe - but once they became a team, things took off.Anyway, really funny.

This is so very funny. Walter Long plays Butch, a murderer who Stan and Ollie have helped convicted. With that stern, ugly, threatening smirk, Butch tells them in court that he will escape, catch them, and tie their legs around their necks. He goes off to prison, but, of course, he escapes and the fun starts. The boys leave town but they need some financial aid and advertise for a travelling companion. It turns out to be Mae Bush, who is Butch's girlfriend. The arrive a her apartment shortly after Butch, who hides in a steamer trunk. The boys are take with Mae who is quite voluptuous in a 1930's kind of way. Butch realizes he can't get out of the trunk and much of the episode involves the duo trying to get him out, not realizing they are about to seal their fates. Tremendous character acting by Long and a really great plot.

Testifying against criminal Walter Long, Laurel and Hardy desperately try to leave town after a sinister threat causes them concern. They advertise for a travel mate, and what do you know, it turns out to be Long's mill (Mae Busch), a floozie with a heart of acid. Long manages a daring escape, but hiding in a trunk, gets the Laurel and Hardy treatment, ultimately making prison a more pleasant option. But that doesn't stop hilarity from seeking its revenge, leaving the audience with one of the more iconic plot twists and a twisted sight gag that is one of the more famous shots of them, regularly used in comic montages and salutes to the lovable team. Busch is rather underused, more of an intruder in the plot than an actual participant. Pretty good for one of their later shorts, and a fun diversion.

The critic in me says that the entire film is structured for the sole purpose of the sight gag with which the film ends. But, OH, WHAT A SIGHT GAG!I saw this the other night at a local arts club screening, but available nowhere else. Why isn't this (or for matter, their masterpiece "The Music Box") on video?
