 Yes, very good movie.

Wasn't holding out much hope for it to be honest, but nicely done, lightly handled, without just driving a wrecking ball through established reputations (usually one of main excuses for such a film), or a paper thin cash in where the idea has a story tacked onto it.

But very warm, easy watch, that does good service to it's subjects I think.

 Goddamn it, just finished watching on BBC 1 and it got me again. Wonderful wonderful film that's choc-a-bloc full of emotion. If you haven't seen it yet you really ought to. A work of genius

 Rated 9/10
I streamed this movie last night and fully agree with Quad5point1 that this is a truly wonderful movie. Steve Coogan and John C Reilly excel in the roles as Laurel & Hardy and whilst there are great moments when the "live" comedy performances are portrayed, it is the story behind the characters where they both get it so right.

The story revolves around the latter years of the famous duo and the struggles they encountered trying to reignite their movie careers. It gives an insight to their personal lives and more importantly how each character interacted away from the camera.

As said, it is at times a very moving movie but also one that has you smiling through the watery eyes.

A must see!

 Rated 10/10
I went to see this movie 11/01/2019 on release. When the opening credits came up and as soon as I saw "BBC Films" I knew I was in for something quite special. This film is a masterclass in how to make great movies. The actors are, to put it quite simply, amazing. John C Reilly and Steve Coogan _are_ Laurel & Hardy. They are so convincing that at times it was hard to believe that it wasn't really them in the flesh. They seemed somehow to summon up the spirit of L&H and allow them to possess they're bodies, it was remarkable to watch. John C Reilly's Oliver was absolutely incredible, he had it all, the voice, the mannerisms, the body movements and the singing voice. It was an incredibly moving performance that had you smiling and teary eyed at the same time. This is one not to miss, and one which i'm sure will become a classic. 10/10 from me
