Synopsis

Bronson Pinchot does a nice job imitating Stan Laurel and Gailard Sartain gives a good appearance as Oliver Hardy, but the imitation does not extend to the original duo's comedy. The silly story line finds the two trying to protect a professor's daughter from a mummy that has been re-born

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
blumdeluxe "For love or mummy", in a remake of the old series, tells the story of an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh in search for his eternal wife and how the two are trying to save the innocent woman from her curse, causing all kinds of trouble and chaos on their way, of course.I was a bit skeptical about a remake of such a famous series, because it always has a touch of making money with it. After giving this one a try, though, I have to admit that a lot of love and effort was put into the movie and some of the slapstick elements indeed match the humour the series is famous for. The movie certainly doesn't have a strong plot or very sophisticated jokes. The special effects bear the smell of the 90s and in general you have to cope with a lot of nonsense. Nevertheless I really had fun with it and if you don't go into the movie with all too high expectations, I think you can have a good time.All in all this is something especially for slapstick fans. If you can accept new films of this series and liked the humor and style of the older titles, you can at least see this as a nice bonus.
lotsafun I'm surprised by the remarks of Laurel and Hardy fans who expected this cute little movie for kids to be as much of a masterpiece as the classic works of the genuine Laurel and Hardy. It's truly astounding. Why in the world would Laurel and Hardy fans expect this to be anything more than a cute little movie for children by Larry Harmon (Bozo the clown) who previously produced the wonderful cartoon versions of The Boys? Are the same Laurel and Hardy purists just as critical of Laurel and Hardy cartoons and comic books that entertained many youngsters? It may alarm the purists, but I have many fond memories of Stan and Ollie's encounter with Scooby Doo. It introduced me to The Boys and it was fun. So is For Love or Mummy.
fordprefect42-0 However, perhaps I'm nitpicking, but in my opinion the "modern day" setting doesn't really seem to work in some respects. For a start, Stan and Ollie still wear their 30s/40s style attire - how many people do you catch wearing bowler hats in this day and age? At times, they seemed almost to be living in a bizarre time warp, which didn't really make sense.Overall though, this is good, old-fashioned slapstick comedy, well in the spirit of the real Stan and Ollie. It's nice to see such innocent laughs for a change, with the kinds of films we're seeing most of the time today, this is a rare treat for the family!
DHollins When I first heard of a 'remake' of the old Laurel & Hardy films, I thought it would be terrible. But after seeing the movie, I take it back! Bronson Pinchot and Gailard Sartain pay great tribute to the late comedy team with their performance.
