Pleased to Meet Cha! (1935) *** (out of 4) Olive is at home alone when Popeye and Bluto both call on her at the same time. The two men agree that whoever does the best trick gets to stay while the other leaves. There's nothing too overly fresh here but there are enough laughs to make this a good entry in the series. The tricks range from pies in the face to plates to the back of the head and these here get the most laughs. The best sequence in the film is when Olive gets her own justice when the boys mess up her house.On DVD from Warner.

"Hey, runt. Three's a crowd. Scram!!!"That's Bluto, of course, talking to Popeye as both of them arrive to see Olive at the same time, both bearing gifts. After trading blows behind Olive's back, until Olive accidentally gets slugged by both of them, she issues an edict: "That's it. One of you will have to leave!"Bluto comes up with the idea of playing tricks on each other and the best one will win, and the loser has to leave. His idea of tricks is to make a fool of Popeye with physical punishment, so the two trade slapstick bits and Olive's house gets destroyed in the process!Popeye's house-mending remedy makes this is a good ending, but it's both "cute" and "clever" Overall, this was a fun cartoon with nice artwork. Funny close-up shots of Bluto's face and some overhead "shots" make the direction of Dave Fleischer noticeable.
