Review of Stan & Ollie

I didn't go into this as a Laurel and Hardy fan and wasn't expecting too much. Imagine my surprise twenty minutes in when I was absolutely engrossed. Reilly and Coogan were excellent as our 2 leads. I've seen enough Laurel and Hardy to know they really nailed it. The film itself was about their later years when their stars had faded a bit and they were on a tour of the UK. I can't comment on how factually correct it was but it was certainly a moving and touching account of two friends in the autumn of their lives. Its not often you can tell how much love has gone into a film but it is obvious with this one.. it's not been made as a money maker or a vanity project, its literally a labour of love and it comes across as such in every scene. Loved it.
