What to expect
Laurel and Hardy turn delay into structure: every attempted departure creates another practical obstacle and another chance for politeness to collapse.
How to ease in
The destination barely matters. Watch the repeated ritual of getting ready, getting into the car, and discovering one more reason nobody can leave.
Heads-up
A family outing repeatedly fails to begin as a car, neighbours, weather, and irritation dismantle the promise of a perfect day.
The title becomes funnier each time the car remains in place. I enjoy how the comedy finds an entire journey inside the failure to travel a few metres.
