Very reminiscent of a Laurel & Hardy pic...just without Laurel & Hardy!

In many ways, "Dizzy Daddies" reminds me of the old Laurel & Hardy short, "Chickens Come Home" (1931), as both involve a guy trying to ditch a woman who simply won't take NO for an answer!

When the story begins, Johnnie comes to the lawyer's house (James Finlayson) in order to woo the man's daughter. However, a love-crazy woman has been chasing Johnnie and the lawyer tries to help out....and gets nothing but trouble in return. The lady now wants the lawyer...who's a married man. Soon all sorts of problems develop...and the lawyer is sure his wife is going to kill him!

This is a cute little comedy...well worth seeing and funny. Is it fall down laughing funny? No...but it is well made and I enjoyed it. And, if you want to see it, it's currently on YouTube.

The farce subgenre features exaggerated situations, slapstick humor, mistaken identities, and chaotic, rapid-fire events. Farces are known for their absurd and over-the-top comedic elements, often involving misunderstandings, physical comedy, and improbable scenarios.
