Stan & Ollie

In 1953, Stan Laurel (Steve Coogan) and Oliver Hardy (John C. Reilly)--aging, ailing, their day as cinema’s eminent comedy duo well behind them--sought to reverse their fortunes with a music-hall tour of the U.K. For the veteran slapstick partners, the grind of the road causes the surfacing of old resentments as well as the burnishing of their bond, in this affectionate effort wonderfully played by the leads; Shirley Henderson, Nina Arianda, Danny Huston, Rufus Jones also star. 97 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; featurettes; deleted scenes; theatrical trailer.
