Review of Blotto

Blotto (1930)
8/10
Getting really drunk with some cold tea?
24 June 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Very descriptive - spoiler warning therefore.

Laurel & Hardy are about to sneak into Jazz Club with a bottle they have planned to steal from Stan's wife. As usual, women are more intelligent than men and Stan's wife empties the bottle and pours into it some cold tea mixed with spices. Ollie and Stan think they're clever when they manage to steal the bottle. It may be a little surprise that they also get drunk with that, at least Stan's ears swing.

It is no wonder that the pathetic evening ends in a full reprisal. The end culminates in a fantastic crash when Stan's wife fires a shotgun at the car, which breaks down like a house with its driver still holding the wheel and sitting in the middle of junk pile. That's realism with a flavour of absurdity.
