Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

SamHardy The last 10 minutes of this film, which were discovered in the 1980s, was a work print. It has been inserted into Laughing Gravy in most video releases available these days. It was never the intention of Stan to have it included in the American release. After watching it, it is clear why. It just is not funny, and it slows the pace of the ending. It just does not belong there. Stan and his collaborators where smart film makers who had one criteria that each film was based on: "Is it funny?" As a life long lover of Stan and Babe, I found the missing reel interesting but not funny. I have seen everything that they did together and Laughing Gravy IMHO is not one of their best. But they turned out so many really great (funny) films that it is easy to forgive them.If you really want to see them at their creative best check out Scram!, The Music Box, Them Thar Hills, Helpmates, Below Zero, The Chimp, Men O'War, Blotto, Towed In A Hole, Beau Hunks. Parts of Pardon Us, Pack Up Your Troubles are also very good, but the very best example of the comic chemistry between them can be found in Sons Of The Desert. If they could be remembered for one film, my vote is for this one.

SnorrSm1989 Stan and Ollie share a flat in a boarding house, along with their little pet dog Laughing Gravy. The landlord finds animals to be a nuisance, however, and denies the poor thing entrance, despite a biting snow-storm outside. Our heroes are determined not to let their pet freeze to pieces, of course; and there's your plot, involving the boys' attempts to get the dog inside without the landlord getting wise about it. Being largely a remake of their last silent effort, ANGORA LOVE which had reached theatres only a couple of years before, LAUGHING GRAVY is arguably a superior work. The boys are given more opportunity here to contextualize the material to their personalities; the affection shown to their pet is almost touching at times, more so than their somewhat odd encounter with the goat of the earlier film.Surely the material here is quite simple, if observed superficially, and the outstanding force of imagination which coins the very best work of the boys was, perhaps, being saved for later efforts such as HELPMATES and THE MUSIC BOX. Even so, it's quite striking how Laurel and Hardy, when in their prime, were able to conjure the simplest of material into something distinctly individual. One sequence here which always makes me howl with laughter (the first time so much so, I remember, that I literally fell off my chair...), has the boys trying to give their pet a much-needed bath. Again, though the humor is very much physical, its effect relies heavily on the personalities of our heroes, and a viewer's degree of familiarity with them. Though the landlord is to eventually declare their behavior to be "too much" of a burden, at least to the rest of us, the story of GRAVY should be a "laughing winner." (This review was somewhat devised in June, 2012)

bob the moo Laurel and Hardy are still together despite having one empty pocket book between them. They have a reasonable room in a hostel but have to keep their dog, Laughing Gravy, hidden from the landlord else they'll be put out on the street. One winter's night, Gravy's constant barking threatens to expose them so they take action to keep him hidden – with limited success.As always, the Laurel and Hardy shorts are perhaps less important for their plot than they are for the often wonderful sequences that the plot device allows for. Here the plot device is an `illegal' (in terms of contract) dog. The ways they try to hide the dog and the consequences of their actions are funny without being wonderful. As usual Hardy's (and a lesser extent, Laurel's) looks to camera make it all better than it actually is.Unusually for their shorts, the conclusion of the story allows for a scene of touching honesty between the two, as Hardy becomes quite vulnerable with Laurel. This was a refreshing addition to the mix which, while not tear jerking, was unexpected. As always (for me anyway) Hardy steals the show with his looks to camera but Laurel is as subtle as ever. Charlie Hall is making a bit too much effort but is OK.Overall this isn't the greatest of their work but it is a good example of everything I love about them as a duo. Their talents make this short better than it probably should be.

Ron Oliver A LAUREL & HARDY Comedy Short.Stan & Ollie are sharing a room in a boarding house with their cute canine, LAUGHING GRAVY. Trouble is, mutts aren't allowed on the premises and what the Boys go through to keep theirs hidden shouldn't happen to a dog...A hilarious little film, one of the best, although ending with a suicide is a bit much. Highlight: Stan & Ollie on the roof. That's Charlie Hall as the ferocious landlord.
