All Wet

Al St. John reworks the basic outline of FATTY AND MABEL ADRIFT and does nowhere nearly as well. While his uncle Roscoe Arbuckle was a good actor and co-starred with Mabel Normand, neither St. John nor his co-star are able to bring much chemistry to their acting, although she is appropriately cute.

Instead of dealing with the issues of a sinking house as in the original, there is a long discursion under the sea involving man-eating fish and a bit of a race, as well as as a fight with a squid or octopus. The result is a decent although unremarkable remake. Stick with the original.
