Just saw Stan and Olie

Grew up watching the Laurel and Hardy movies etc as probably everyone else did. I personally liked them and their comedic style as if there was indeed something unique about their duo more than the several other fat guy skinny guy comedy duos at that time.

No real need to review it extensively... I'll say if you at all are interested in who they were as people outside the lense, this is not that film. It's a bit of a troll sort of thing, like every time the movie starts to get dark and serious, it says Lol just kidding, nothing like that happened, they got along great. But it does bring it up, it does bring up friction between them, then drops it like it was just playing another gag. Indeed the whole film comes off as one long last laugh by the duo as if this was their way of trolling us with another routine.

Excellent perfect performances. I just didn't see John C reilly one second in the film. He wasn't there. The other guy nailed Laurel as well. I felt like I was just watching them. That's the best thing about the film and most fun. If you want that, to see them living and breathing in some capacity again, it's there, you can get lost in the illusion.

It's a lite laid back film, nothing happens that's catastrophic, it's just a character driven story about the two and their final days as performers. That's all it is.

Well written, loved some of the dialogue and want to revisit some of it. It truly is akin with their comedy style and it's full of homages or whatever to how they'd make foolish decisions and misunderstand things.

I mean what more did I want from it that I feel was missing? Some depth. It's so breezy that yeah as movies go, this is like almost not even a movie, almost tv movie kinda thing, which is to me eh, that's fine. Just it does give you nuggets of depth, then tosses them aside in a perfunctory way. Yeah I know me some werds... Well it's good, enlightning if you did want to know more about the end of their career and Reilly was perfectly cast. This is how the stooges movie should have gone. At the end I was just thinking, damn if only they made one like this about the stooges, would have actually been interesting...

That's all folks!
