A show biz love story...
“Stan & Ollie” is a gentle film about the lifelong professional and personal relationship between Stan Laurel (Steve Coogan) and Oliver Hardy (John C. Reilly), two comics who were first teamed in silent movies and achieved worldwide fame in the 1930s. The film takes place mostly in 1953, during a tour of the United Kingdom, a prelude to what they hope will be a movie to revive their career.<br /><br />An early scene set in 1937, at the height of their success, shows the men under contract to Hal Roach (Danny Huston), a tough businessman, tight with a dollar. He refuses to increase their salary despite Laurel’s repeated protests. Hardy, content to leave things the way they are, prefers not to tamper with regular employment that has assured a steady income as well as fame.<br /><br />By the early 1950s, both men have passed their career peak. Laurel is convinced that the film he’s writing will put them back on top. The British tour doesn’t always go smoothy. They are not booked into the best hotels, they perform in secondary theaters, and they play to half-empty houses. They look forward to the end of the tour, when they’ll play London, a film producer will see them perform, and the film deal will be finalized.<br /><br />Both Coogan and Reilly are incredible at how effortlessly they embody the real Laurel and Hardy, from their trademark mannerisms — Laurel’s head scratching, perplexed double takes, and blank stares and Hardy’s tie fiddling, nervous derby fidgeting and exasperated expression — to their physical appearance, aided by convincing prosthetics. It’s always challenging to play famous individuals, especially when so much film and newsreel footage exists of the originals. Both actors have done their homework. Coogan’s light British accent and Reilly’s easygoing manner perfectly capture the essence of the men.<br /><br />The relationship is not without its hiccups, however. Long-festering resentments are held in check for the benefit of the team, but come to a head as their hopes for a comeback are dimmed. We see two vulnerable men having to face changing times and realizing that this tour might be their last time together entertaining audiences. A brief moment in which Laurel looks at an enormous poster of Abbott & Costello in their latest comedy underscores the reality that new comedy stars bask in the fame once enjoyed by Laurel & Hardy.<br /><br />The men’s wives, played by Nina Arianda (Ida Laurel) and Shirley Henderson (Lucille Hardy), join their husbands in London and are supportive of them, though not always civil with each other. When Hardy’s health weakens, he’s ordered to take it easy and avoid the stress of performing live, but there are more shows to do and he must weigh fulfilling his professional obligation with following doctor’s orders.<br /><br />In the film’s opening sequence, director Jon S. Baird uses a six-minute tracking shot as Stan and Ollie walk from a dressing room through a studio backlot. They chat about this and that and greet various folks along the way through the hustle-bustle of a working movie studio. The camera glides behind them as they enter a soundstage where they are about to perform a famous scene from “Way Out West” against a projected background. The shot, amazing in its complexity, provides a glimpse of what movie making was like back in the 1930s and serves as a dramatic contrast to the team 16 years later as they valiantly continue to plug away.<br /><br />Rated PG, “Stan & Ollie” is a loving look at two men who performed together through four decades. Becoming friends and working partners, they were the first successful comedy team of the talkie era. The Marx Brothers, The Three Stooges, Hope & Crosby, Martin & Lewis, Cheech & Chong, and The Blues Brothers would make their own distinctive mark in cinematic comedy, but it is Laurel & Hardy who showed that, with the right partner, slapstick comedy is an art.<br /><br />Bonus materials on the Blu-ray release include 3 featurettes, cast and crew Q & A, deleted and extended scenes, theatrical trailer, and previews.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : Laurel and Hardy, one of the world's greatest comedy teams, set out on a variety hall tour of Britain in 1953. Diminished by age and with their golden era as the kings of Hollywood comedy now behind them, they face an uncertain future. As the charm and beauty of their performances shines through, they re-connect with their adoring fans. Even as the tour becomes a hit, Stan and Ollie can't quite shake the specter of Laurel and Hardy's past; the long-buried ghosts, coupled with Oliver's failing health, start to threaten their precious partnership. A portrait of the most tender and poignant of creative marriages, they are aware that they may be approaching their swan song, trying to rediscover just how much they mean to each other..
