In the decade before Laurel and Hardy became a team, Stan Laurel was a very busy comedy actor--appearing in tons of short films. However, few of the remaining films of this era are all that special--and most are pretty forgettable comedies (there are definite exceptions). SOMEWHERE IN WRONG is about average for Laurel and is in no way dull or offensive though some might find the story line a bit schmaltzy (too sentimental). There are a few good laughs and it's better paced than many of his solo films. There's a lot of the usual tramp hi-jinx and in the end, Stan is left broken-hearted because a pretty young girl chooses another.
My advice is to first find and watch every Laurel and Hardy film you can. Then and only then see these earlier films. DR. PYCKLE AND MR. PRYDE and a few others are great, but the vast majority are less than inspiring.
