A poignant, touching drama that focuses on the last years of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy and their tour of the U. K. I loved watching the classic re-runs on BBC2 back on tv in the 80s and now I own everything they did on DVD, even the silent shorts made before they were paired up by Hal Roach. I usually find fault with biopics but not this time. The cast all did an excellent job. I was very impressed with how authentic Steve Coogan and John C Reily had the voices down pat. Reily's performance was especially flawless and with the aid of prosthetics looks just like Oliver. Beautifully shot too, I liked the image of the Tyne Bridge and the scene that used Tynemouth Station as I'm a local. A nice insight into the relationship between the greatest comedy duo of all time. Had to fight tears by the end. Great movie.
