Stan and Ollies comedy is as fresh as ever. No one comes close to their timing and films. I never tire of watching their art !
You can watch them over and over and still laugh at the same joke. These days jokes die the 2nd time around.
Only other duo I loved were Cannon & Ball as they were different. Everyone else were poor second class copies.
@@gelertgames I sometimes wonder if the idea for clumsy inspector clusoe comes from Stan and Ollie.
I think it’s more than possible
I saw the film yesterday. It's a warm, and extremely well done portrait of these two old friends at the end of their careers. The portrayals are spot on and the makeup job is one of the best ever.
This film got robbed at Oscar time
Saw the movie today. I initially wasn't going to see it as I didn't want to spoil the memories I have of them when I watched their black and white films in New Zealand in the mid to late 1950's, but I'm glad I did.
I am unbelievably excited for this film.
So am I
Hell yes!
I hope this movie does really well so people will become interested in them again and check them out...possibly for the first time.
Loved the film. Brilliant acting.
Bought the DVD. Well worth seeing. Seen it three times. Cried all three times and know I will next time I see it
Love this movie.. i teared right up when Ollie said I'm going to miss us when we're gone and stan says and so will you.. bless those two.
Steve and John did a really great job playing Stan and Ollie. I'm a BIG Laurel and Hardy fan and I was very impressed by Steve and John's performance. Well done, gentlemen!
I'm a big fan of stan and oliver so many laughs over the years . Was in dread over watching this new film .what a nice surprise they both smashed it. hats off to them absolutely brilliant very tastefully tribute . .
The best and funniest duo ever to hit the screen
My grandfather loved them and I watched many of their films as a youngster
Now as old as Stan and Ollie were doing this amazing tour
Very much looking forward to this film
Saw this last week at the cinema. Absolutely amazing 😂. RIP Stan and Ollie
Oliver Hardy looks amazing and almost identical.
well... that's another fine film you've gotten me into...
It certainly is.

Well he could nothing...
My uncle seen them at Glasgow Empire They brought house down tremendous in what could be a difficult venue. No problem for a class act 👏
The best part of watching this movie in the theatres was actually feeling like an audience watching them preferring
Stan anf ollie were 2 greats of hollywood and still popular today. My kids in their early twenties grew up on them.
Loved it I took my 10 year old grandson to see it .we both watch them on my I pad when I stay at his mum's .He asked her if just him and his grandad could go and see the film and it was great loved it as I've been brought up on them . ITs a night out I won't forget me and my grandson watching laurel and hardy eating toffees drinking pop and both loving each others company in the cinema .Both actors great and their screen wife's were funny
If you dont like Laurel and Hardy you dont like to smile.
Or you arent 100
Or a right miserable git.
or you are dead from the inside.
....or you have no soul.....
Or you don't know what comedy truly is. I for one will always love Laurel and Hardy and I thank my grandmother and even though she wasn't related to us she was a family friend of ours and she was the best friend of my grandmother. They are the reason I love Laurel and Hardy. I even watched a movie called Stan and Ollie and I give credit to the BBC for making a movie about these two legendary comedians. Charlie Chaplin and Buster they may be hilarious but Laurel and Hardy knew how to do comedy and I'm pretty sure this was the inspiration that led up to comedians such as Mel Brooks and possibly Andy Kaufman. But there was also a very favorite memory of mine in regards to the Munsters. As a child I used to watch The Munsters with my grandmother and it would also be a few times I watch it by myself and I remembered we had this old television set and we used to find TV Land and I would never miss an episode of The Munsters. I guess I never wanted to miss an episode and I possibly got that from my uncle from my mother's side because when he my mother and my aunt were little my uncle would always pick up my mother and my aunt from school and they'd run home and he would put on his favorite television show that he never missed at all in his life and that was Adam West Batman. But my point is television from the 50s and the 60s are never meant to be forgotten. But also let's not forget the twenties thirties and forties because the early to mid twentieth century was a great era for Hollywood. And there will never ever be another comedian that can live up to the expectations that Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy had when they were alive but their inspiration lives on through countless Generations that know the meaning of Comedy and we must remember that comedy is subjective but it is that subjectiveness that makes people laugh. As the late Gene Wilder once said "So shines a good deed in a weary world."
Stan and Ollie universally loved. Kings of Comedy pure and simple.
Paul Ockenden Laurel and Hardy, Chaplin, The Three Stooges, the list goes on. Genuine, beloved legends. So happy Stan and Laurel are getting a movie. ❤️
David Lape I call them Healy's Stooges. They WOULD NOT exist without him.
Joan Smith Yes true. I didn’t know that until I watched a made for TV movie about them. Thing is I believe they wanted to break away from Healy yes? I wish all of legends were around today so they could witness just how beloved they are and how much they mean to us many moons later.
David Lape No, I don't believe they ever broke up. His stooges went to a separate studio, while Ted Healy stayed at MGM. There's an MGM movie called Hollywood Party, I think it was made in 1936, that shows Healy and his stooges together again, but for only a brief time, even though they are with Columbia from then on, since 1934 (Harry Cohn was calling them his good luck charms around that time).
Joan Smith Thank you kindly for the information. 🤗
Im a die hard Laurel and Hardy fan since the age of 5. Thats over 50 years ago. I didnt know weather to see this because it obviously wasnt the original cast, and i couldnt picture someone else ever filling their shoes. But my god what an excellent film it is. Both actors were incredible and for me John Reilly excelled, as Oliver hardy. Thats not to say Steve Coogan wasnt way less impressive, because this was the best performance of his acting career. Im no softy, but i was sobbing like a child at the end, and i defy anyone not to shed a tear after watching this all the way through. To put it simply, the film and actors deserve every award going for what is a masterpiece. Absolutely superb.
You big softy.
I did well to hold any tears back watching this film but my eyes were a bit watery I must admit at the cinema, my wife could see I was getting fidgety and she was thinking what the bloody hell... unfortunately she didn't really appreciate it that much (maybe a tiny bit) as she didn't grow up watching Laurel and Hardy and other old classics, whereas I did occasionally. I did however show her a few short films/clips of theirs to get a better understanding, rather than going in blind. Best film I had seen in a long while and most certainly in later/recent times, post 2010.
I couldn't agree more. Laurel and Hardy are lifelong heroes of mine too, and what made this movie work above all for me was the tremendous respect and care shown for them. Their portrayals by Reilly and Coogan were just astounding.
Agree. Stroke of genius casting him. Seems such a random choice but they soooo knew what they were doing...whoever it was.
What awards were going for them? I did not see any.
It's a great film. It should have won Oscars. Maybe Laurel & Hardy are not relevant to the future?
But they are the future! Their comedy style is what the world needs now and in the future. To counter the never-ending, self-regarding cynicism in the world today.
Totally agree , I knew Coogan would be great but John Reilly was a revelation , so nuanced and sensitive....he was perfect.
my dad who passed away in 2012 was 82, he would of loved this. i used to watch the cine films he had when i was very young
amazing transformation of John C Reilly.
They will still be laughing in another fifty years NEVER FORGOTTEN ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Probably in ANOTHER 500 YEARS if the Earth is STILL AROUND !!
I'm getting flashbacks now and laughing at the thought of me watching them....they were the best...true masters of their art.
It’s a shame and unbelievable that this movie didn’t have any Oscar nominations!
Can't wait to see this movie. They look so close to the real men!
A beautiful film about two lovely men
The terrific bass yodeling in the "Some Ball" sequence of "Way Out West' was the longtime character actor Chill Wills.
Yep. And I believe those are Chill's and Rosina Lawrence's voiceovers for Stan in "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" clip. So these were extracted from the WAY OUT WEST soundtrack.
Never knew that! Great detail!
Yes Chill Wills was an member of The Avalon Boys - they sang in a lot of films
They are releasing 1/6 scale figures of Laurel and Hardy. But not until September of next year. The facial likeness of them is SPOT ON.
I loved this movie.
this film uses the genuine pre-recorded singing voice of Chill Wills and Rosina Lawrence from"Way Out West"for Mr.Coogan's lip syncing to"The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine".
they sometimes seem weirdly forgotten but they were the absolute kings of comedy for me when I was growing up. I don't think anyone has gotten close to their unique style since....
David Cripps
Still Kings.
"David Cripps" Abott and Costello ?
Watching this was so fresh. I still couldn't get the likeness out of my head. I was so captured.
Coogan & Reilly are absolutely fantastic in this - the film itself falls into all the traps of most bio-pics. A check list of events and this comedy team truly loved & respected each other. Of course over their long career, they had disagreements but they certainly didn't have that big insulting fight in public but hey - movies need conflict.
This is really the only film I'm looking forward to that's being released in the next few weeks. I usually wait for the DVD, but this one I will see in the theatre.
The impact Stan and Ollie had is pretty big. Their photo is in Chandler and Joey’s apartment in “Friends”. In my opinion, that’s a big impact.
I hope to one day meet the director behind this movie and I wish to say that you as a person gave me something of a memory that I have long forgotten you brought Laurel and Hardy back into my life and I am not ashamed to say that they are the greatest comedians that ever lived. I also wish to thank the director by telling him it must have been a tremendous honor for Laurel and Hardy to finish up their tour in my ancestral home country of Ireland.
How great would it be if the Oscars hired Steve Coogan & John C. Reilly to host the Oscars as Stan & Ollie!? To me, that would be a Big Win all the way around.
That WOULD HAVE BEEN SOOOOOOOOOO RIGHT but unfortunately the IDIOTS IN HOLLYWOOD weren't as smart as YOU !!
Honestly the clips they show here {although brilliant} are not a true reflection of the film performances, they are even greater when you see these scenes in context, you really have to see the whole film to get it, It really is an amazing feat and I cant remember when I say anything as beautiful. The girls are also as good and the script, editing and directing are flawless
The sets too are beyond perfection. It is all detail and class, I will watch for more from this director
I cant remember seeing two actors carry their roles all the way through a whole film better, I cant imagine why the Oscars didnt go to any of this?. Beautiful, very very funny all the way and heartbreaking in parts, everyone left the theater happy and moved
Saw it yesterday. It's pretty near perfect.
I really hope this film brings these two comedy legends to a new young audience! Their legacy must continue to inspire new comedians of the future. They are timeless comedy and totally adorable ❤️

@@alberteinstein1478 What trash that link its pal. Dont waste your bandwidth people. Technomusic to pictures of two geniuses. What a twat. Got to be Eastern European. They put techno music to anything and everything
My son is in his 20s and really fussy about what he watches what he eats,typical today type and it's hard to convince him of things. One day early evening I said 'Whats shall we do tonight' he said "How about a comedy" I said ' fancy a bit of Laurel and Hardy' he went "Nah" I said 'What! You don't wanna watch laurel and Hardy' he could see the sheer shock in my face,i didn't have to convince him when he saw my incredulous stare of disbelief tgat he didn't want to watch them and he instantly said "Yeah ok then" that was it,thats all I had to do,he's a fan now,he literally fell off his chair laughing,in absolute hysterics..
@@paulanthony5274 brilliant 😂👌
This looks like an awesome film!
He really nailed Stans role spot on
WHY DID THIS MOVIE GOT SNUBBED AT THE OSCARS I'LL NEVER KNOW !
When Mom was looking after my sisters twins, the only way to keep them quite was to put them in front of the TV showing Laurel and Hardy videos.
I watched an early screening of this yesterday. It’s very good - would recommend.
I have been to see this film. A great film. Great ackting
0:32 - 0:43 Reilly and Coogan really got L&H's mannerism down to a T
This looks like Oscar all the way around.
Yeah, after this featurette, i was like "This won't just win best actors, but also best make-up"
Its certainly does Ollie..
Reilly has been nominated for a Golden Globe.
The reviews are great, but for some reason the film was ignored by the awards. I guess they don't have that much backing by the studio. This film looks like it has great performances.
@@johnorange1970 It'a also a British production, doesn't have a chance in Hollywood.
I was apprehensive about the quality of the re-creation, of Stan in particular. His unique face, voice, and mannerisms, have never been quite captured by anyone before. Ollie always seemed easier. Even models and portraits of them underlined this to me. From what I have seen so far, it looks very promising, I look forward to the show.
As a long time fan both actors had Laurel & Hardy down to a T.....Absolutely wonderful because at times I had to forget I was watching a film and not L & H themelves. Such comedy ( boiled eggs and nuts)....so close to the original I thought I was watching it....through to when they dropped a trunk down the stairs and instead of getting it just said "do we really need that trunk?" in homage to the Music Box.....Absolutely brilliant, loved it. Funny, poignant, great supporting cast too..... A must see!!!!
Laurel & Hardy will alway's be the greatest comedians, the movie looks fantastic!!.....
I was lucky enough to get a screener for this movie, its beyond great the two leads are just superb. Best film I've seen for ages.
I always thought that Steve Coogan could only ever play Steve Coogan but it seems he's also plays a good Stan.
GOOD is an UNDERSTATEMENT - he FUCKING NAILED IT !!
Good movie. Seen it three times. Still cry during it, especially at the ending. Great job by both of them. The dance they do is a mirror of the dance they did in real life. Outstanding job by both of them. Well worth seeing if you haven't.
I can’t wait!
I do remember watching the 1ST time that Stan and Babe shared the screen together. Stan if I remember right wore a Navy swab uniform and Babe stood on a sidewalk and neither had a line with one another after all it wasn't a Laurel and Hardy movie. That would come later. And yes the movie was silent.
Went to see it tonight - AMAZING! I have a new found love for Steve Coogan - He had Stan Laurel down to a tee,mannerisms and everything - Highly recommend-Great memories - Great watch!💕👌🏼
His role in 'Philomena' is amazing by the way.
Cake Crazy This imitation of Laurel, can he do the finger wiggle?
laurel and hardy Trasformation ruclips.net/video/4ncs7FsO624/видео.html
'Unique' and 'universal' -- absolutely right. Have read that when they arrived in Britain for this tour, the real-life L&H were surprised by the very real affection in which they were held.
this looks good cant wait to see it
They signed up with fox in early 40s but stan couldnt control the script. So most of fox movies the studio ran them. Still funny and great just not that Laurel and Hardy chemistry from the past.
Steve was so cute as Stan in this movie.
That movie of 2019 is better than the British TV-movie version of 2006 named "Stan".
Rest in eternal love and peace, Stan and Norvell. O7
Simurgh You know Stan Laurel’s name was Arthur Jefferson right?
Henry Wentworth I think it was soon after "Blotto" he had his name legally changed to Stan Laurel.
May be not but it is a fine effort
@@joansmith6092 No, long before that. Only his first film in 1917 (Nuts in May) billed him as Jefferson, he was Laurel from the next one (Hickory Hiram) in 1918. His then partner called herself Mae Laurel (although she was already married). She was even billed as Mae Laurel e.g. Huns and Hyphens 1918.
I predict choking up
2:06 That's Loughborough Central on the GCR
I know from the news stand at the bottom of the stairs
2:43 "I'd look in the mirror and, uh, see someone different." I think Steve sees Rob Brydon.

Loved this film ,Coogan and Reilly are perfect , the most beautiful cinematic tribute to the world greatest comedy actors.
Unlike that abomination the modern three stooges, this hit the spot. Almost perfect but fantastic movie
A very lovely and touching tribute to the boys and their career. Definitely recommended!
This seems very good. I'd like to see it. I've always been a fan of Laurel & Hardy. I love the old films and the Laughtoon shorts. They are some of The All Time Greatest. I am also aware of the I'll fated reunion. Reilly and Coogan are just great I think.
I wish I could find out when this great movie will be released into theaters in my town of Seattle.
Class acts the lot of 'em
Watch Their Silent Films They Are Great!!
Watch their talkies, even better
@@thethirdman2135 Both - don't miss Two Tars (silent) and Way Out West.
Finally saw this on the big screen Stateside. No kiss-and-tell or effects-laden barnburner this. Messrs Laurel and Hardy have long been a mixed bag for me though I regard the affection publicly displayed for them as genuine, and there's no disputing their contributions. "Based on a true story"? Perhaps. Let's just say I reserve the highest praise for the acting, the leads in particular. You very quickly reach the point of regarding their performances as more than just impressions or caricatures. In short, you BELIEVE them. And in today's acting environment that can only charitably be regarded as fickle that is high praise indeed.
Agreed. I just saw the movie tonight and within minutes I was carried away by the performances. Coogan and Reilly BECOME Laurel and Hardy and the genuine bond the originals had is equally presented by Steve and John. I found myself wishing they'd done more routines and particularly liked the Robin Hood clip, so poignant when you know it was one of many routines Stan wrote for he and Ollie long after Hardy was gone
I’ve always wanted a film like this for The Three Stooges.
There WAS a movie about the Three Stooges and it was brilliant. The Farrelly brothers made it a few years back and the got the characters to a tee. I remember thinking at the time, if someone could just make a Stan and Ollie movie and capture the same essence as the Farrelly bros did with the Stooges it would be great.
Well that's another BARREL of FISH YOU'VE PICKLED ME IN.
Watch them filming some of this in Worthing uk
I am looking forward to seeing this,who knows maybe some producer and director somewhere,may get round to making a biopic movie about Norman Wisdom,another of the great funny men of films,Lee Evans would be ideal as the comic genius.
Really want to see this.
One of the BEST movie biographies OF ANY KIND as far as I'm concerned !! It really shows you THE LOVE between the two men and that's what made them so BRILLIANT on screen ! CAN'T BELIEVE this film didn't GET A SNIFF of any Oscar - a GRAVE injustice INDEED !!
I went to see this when it first came out with my friends for my birthday and it was fantastic being introduced to such a comedies duo
Watched last night, brilliant witty and emotional film, superbly acted by Coogan and Reilly, well recommended :)
I CANT WAIT TO SEE THIS FILM.. the Whole Family is going.. Love the two of them
The contract disagreement with Hal Roach led to a brief paring of Babe Hardy with Harry Langdon. That could have worked because in many ways, Langdon's on-screen persona was not unlike Stan Laurel's. Of course, even if successful it would not have lasted long because Langdon died in 1944.
Correct. There was no disagreement between Stan and Ollie over this, so the central basis of this movie, as shown in the trailer, is a lie. It misleads everyone about the relationship, and offends fans who know the truth. There is a campaign among fans to boycott this movie for the travesties it contains.
@@mrsbrownandhercat It is never prudent to rely on the movies for history lessons. Movie scripts emphasize "drama," and drama is enhanced by conflict, real or imagined. I think I'll enjoy the movie, fully cognizant that it is just a movie. However, I understand why the contrived conflict might grind your gears. About twenty years ago, I watched a German movie called "The Harmonists," about a great Weimar era singing group, the Comedian Harmonists. I know a lot about the group and the period in which the movie is set and that script STILL pisses me off if I think about it.
Well said
Yes they often do this particularly in Hollywood @@WildwoodClaire1 . The Jolson Story bore little relationship to the true story.
@@MrHeesbeen And the result can be an entertaining movie. The king of fanciful biopics is "Yankee Doodle Dandy," an utter whitewash of George M. Cohan.
I really really really want to see this movie!
I can't wait to see this movie!
The transformation into Laurel & Hardy is amazing!!!
Loved the film. Brilliant acting.
Remember watching laurel & hardy with my grandma after school or staying at hers for the night.
I watched this for the first time a few weeks ago. I loved Laurel and Hardy growing up, so watching this was so heartbreaking. I was an emotional wreck.
If I live to be 100, some of my greatest childhood memories were of Thanksgiving afternoons after the MACY’S parade we’d watch March Of The Wooden Soldiers.
LOVED THIS MOVIE! I saw it alone Saturday, Feb 2 and enjoyed it so much I took the wife on Sunday, Feb 3. Fantastic performances by Coogan and Reilly, the wives as played by Shirley Henderson and Nina Arianda, and also the promoter, Rufus Jones. Beautifully crafted and filmed, too. GO SEE THIS (it will make you cry)!
Just watched it. Omg...Steve Coogan's best ever performance yet. Absolutely magic film ...had me tearing up in the end. Brought back so many memories of my childhood in the 70s a 80s where L&H were constantly on TV. Its a shame more effort isn't made to keep these shows on our television....having 24/7 access online is no excuse not to repeat these on TV.
Please bring them back.....every Saturday we have HOURS of murder she wrote and Columbo on Sunday !!!
Bring these classics back NOW !!!!
Shouldn't do this , Leave them Alone, NO ONE CAN DO THEM JUSTICE .
Just saw it. Wonderful film. Great portrait of the artist's life and old friendship.
Simply the best
I’m so freaking excited for this movie 🎥!!
I went and saw this film and I thought it was great, john .c.Reilly and Steve coogan did a great job
A brilliant film and a fitting tribute to the best comic actors who ever lived. We shall never see their like again.
Just saw this fantastic film today. Moving and funny it is a real tribute to these legends. The acting was amazing.
I can’t wait to see it. I loved watching them on Saturday mornings repeats as a kid 😂🤣
Legendary! Thank you so much for making this wonderful, long overdue film!
Fantastic movie.
In their heyday, in their shorts, they used to paint their faces white, look closely in their black and white films you can see it
