Hoboken to Hollywood

When the film begins, Billy (Billy Bevan) is told to drive to their California office. Now Hoboken to California is a HUGE drive today...but back in 1926 there weren't many roads and the drive could have taken a month or more (now you can do it in 4-6 days). Soon, Billy and the family are in his jalopy headed west. Unfortunately for another couple, they meet up with Billy and follow them along as they are going to California as well. However, Billy annoys the life out of the man (Vernon Dent)--but his thoughtless and stupid behaviors as well as his continually laughing at everything. By the end, however, Vernon is able to have the last laugh...and the final scene is a crowd pleaser.

Overall, like all the other Billy Bevan/Mack Sennett films I've seen, it's funny and well made. Not his best....but still very good.

By the way, like many comedies of the day, there is an insulting joke involving a black man. It's creepy and nasty...and something you'll just have to look past if you see this one.
