The All New Adventures of Laurel and Hardy: For Love or Mummy
US 1998 (straight-to-video release 2004). Coast Entertainment/White Dune/Larry Harmon. 85m.
The grand nephews of Stan and Ollie combat an ancient Pharaoh prophecy to take over the world.
Inevitably misguided but spirited impersonation, which despite the occasional recognisable moment generally treats the lovable duo more as stupid idiots than endearing buffoons, and anachronistically thrusts them into the present day but still wearing their period clothes. Plotwise no worse than most of the original Laurel & Hardy features.
Written by: Jeffrey Pillars, Joseph Dattore.
Producers: Kenneth M. Badish, John Cherry, Larry Harmon, Susan Harmon.
Directors: John Cherry, Larry Harmon.
Starring: Bronson Pinchot, Gailard Sartain, F. Murray Abraham, Susan Danford (uncredited), Philip Godawa, Jeffrey Pillars, Rick Rogers.
Photography: James Robb.
Music: Robert Folk.
