Just like Steven Seagal should have stopped making films long ago, the Wayans Bros should have stopped while they were at a high.

Only 10 people filled the cinema seats, including me. I was tempted to leave half way as there was no story to keep me interested, but the humour is nothing inventive.

You will find yourself laughing at some of the slapstick that's thrown at you, but the film is a real waste of good money and time. I don't think even Five.TV will want to show it either, and they're good at putting really dire films on.

Choose another film to watch. The Wayans Brothers have had a very good run over the last 17 years and they should leave it at that.

I mean, even the one single fart-joke was badly used in one scene. It's the one last weapon for a laugh in a film and they still managed to bodge it all up.

I should challenge the above comment - I think its a great piece for people new to Laurel and Hardy. It depicts everything they're good at, and actually does warrant you to look for the original films to see where the clip came from.

I was already a fan when I first watched this (aged 9 during the BBC and Channel 4 viewings in the late 80s) and I found this to be a complement.

I actually should look for my old VHS recording of this.

What's all the fuss about? Well, first of all, it was played on UK TV last night, but it wasn't the comments that made me want to watch the film, it was the Harry Nielsen theme tune that made me want to watch it. I downloaded the mp3 a couple of years back, but it was pleasant to now match the song to the right picture...

Midnight Cowboy is indeed a great adventure of a film. To describe Joe Buck here is to spoil it for you to let your imagination paint his character, because thats what the first 10 mins of the film does.

Try doing what he did - to traverse from the big country to a big city, where Joe isn't contaminated by the dark traits of city life, where no one says hello to each other on the streets, where people fear of being robbed, where people walk with heads down. No, no... Joe Buck treats everyone equal, with a nice massive "Howdy to y'all from Texas".

I couldn't lose concentration while watching the film: you actually do become involved. I had to keep reminding myself that the film is nearing 36 years old and that the entire cast is aged.

It's definitely worth a view. R2-DVD's are cheap.
