two idiot ( ted danson and howie mandel ) plan to bet on a horse in a race that fix to win . but they have to deal with the mob and the mob head wife who be sleep around . wow be this bad . i saw it in a theatre in 1986 and remember hat it and be really amaze at how lousy this be . i figure with ted danson in it ( who be popular from cheer at the time ) it couldn not be bad . well and i be wrong . he try but the material be hopeless . mandel be just annoy . the rest of the cast be just there . purportedly danson shot nude scene for this movie but they weren not in the final cut . also there be sequence shoot with danson and mandel imitate old laurel and hardy routine ( hence the title ) but those be cut too . i hear the studio be horrify by the final result ( no shock there ) and just release it very quietly and it die a quick deserve death . easily one of the bad comedy of it time . just painful . avoid .
