It's January the 12th and this is the first film I've seen..
To be fair I've been in no fit state to sit in a dark cinema for 2 hours.. Man-flu is a terrible illness to have to endure (you ask any man), but endure it I did..
And this film turned out to be an ideal remedy. Focusing on the last years of Laurel and Hardy's careers, in particular their theatre tour of Britain in 1953.
Steve Cogan and John C. Reilly had Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy down to a tee, they really were excellent. It reminded me of when we used to watch the old movies at my grandparents.
Ultimately though, it was a sad movie.. I enjoyed it, but it was sad..
A decent ***1/2 star start to the year.
