One thing I hate about Laurel & Hardy feature films in the forced romance stories they put in them. And they barely bothered to do anything worth wild about the one here and even had to change the boy in mid-production because he was so bad. Considering how poor William Janney was I can only imagine how horrid Barry Norton was. Then with the new guy they even forgot to put in the special final 'reunion of lovers' scene making the whole thing completely meaningless!

But since they gave up on the hopeless lovers story that meant more screen time for Laurel & Hardy! And that's exactly was a Laurel & Hardy film needs! And there was a bunch of classic L&H moments. The water sneezing, the fish burning, the "mirage", the street sweeping dance and the final buzzing bee's finish! And plenty more. Any fan of the boys will enjoy this one for sure!

me and my bestie if they ever decide to draft women for WWIII

Well, Hardy ruins his only pair of pants and his solution is to hole up in a hotel room for three weeks. Relatable!

Another Laurel and Hardy for the kids. L&H (actually just L) are supposed to inherit some money from a rich Scot. They travel to Scotland but don't get but a bagpipe and snuff box. Then, they end up in a Scottish regiment the British Army wearing kilts and are sent to India. Chaos ensues. Another pretty funny 60 minutes.

Stan and Ollie are off to Scotland and then India after joining the Scottish army. I laughed a lot during this. Highlights include them trying to cook a fish over their bed springs with a candle, the mirage routine and the dance around the barracks yard.

I haven't seen a lot of early feature length Laurel and Hardy films but this definitely made me want to watch more and I'd recommend it to anyone who's a fan of classic comedy.

Could easily have been called Exotic India

This time Laurel and Hardy go to India to help the British keep India under their control. To be fair they didn't mean to, Stan thought he was just getting a free pair of pants for Ollie but it was a recruiting station and off they go. It's not the best Laurel and Hardy, but there is still a good time to be had, though they might be a little old for kilts. If all of the British forces had been more like Stan India would have had their independence much earlier.

The first moments in Scotland were highly enjoyable and just pure classic Laurel & Hardy. But I got a little bored once it moved to the war moments it just lost the fun the first half had. I did however really enjoy watching Laurel make everyone change which leg they were marching with on multiple occasions.

My dad said he remembered the trick Stan did for his hat floating on his first date with my mother. My mom, who was very drunk, was as amazed as Ollie in that scene.

Anyway racism bad, their dancing was good.

Einer der besten Filme der 2. Humor auf seine Art und Weise.Sehr empfehlenswert mit sehr viel Liebe ❤

When I describe a film as “meandering” it’s usually not as a compliment, but with Bonnie Scotland it is; here’s a Laurel and Hardy showcase so uninterested in its mandatory star-crossed lovers B plot (which wasn’t the worst I’ve seen) that it lets it completely peter out in favor of more L&H antics. A welcome move. There’s some surprisingly macabre gags and a great one-liner about Mae West too.
