Title: Stan and Ollie
Review: for my money, this is the movie of the year…though I am definitely biased. The film was extremely emotional for me…a beautiful story of friendship and perseverance…… and…. I watched these guys every day after school when I was a lad…which I’m sure is a generational thing (of an age). Still, the capture of this period (1937 through 1953) is fantastic, the sets and music are marvelous and the attention to detail magnificent. but…. Coogan and Reilly…WOW…it’s like they had waited for these roles all their lives. They ARE Laurel and Hardy. I laughed…I cried…this is a beautiful movie.
