Smooth transition

"Unaccustomed As We Are" is a 20-minute black-and-white short film from almost 90 years ago starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy and this little movie was made right during the transition from silent film to sound film and I must say they did a good job with that here. I have seen many clumsier efforts from around that time. Apart from that the story is pretty good from a comedic perspective and Stan and Ollie are given the right material to show us their great talent. I found it a funny watch and I also want to say that the supporting actors here did well and it just worked out nicely. Maybe there were no moments of true greatness, but at 20 minutes, I personally felt this was a pretty entertaining watch. And that is why I give this one a positive verdict overall, one of the better Laurel/Hardy short films I have seen and certainly worth checking out.
