Big Business (1929)
**** (out of 4)
Wonderful Laurel and Hardy short has the boys living in CA and trying to make a buck by selling Christmas trees. This is certainly one of the best shorts from the boys as they eventually get into a fight with one of the people they're trying to sell a tree to. That man destroys their car while L&H rip is house apart. Plenty of slapstick here with laughs throughout. The breaking down of the car is something we've seen in other shorts but the style that it's done here and the expressions from the boys makes this one of the greatest comedy scenes in the history of cinema.
