“Stan And Ollie” (*** out of four) was an affectionately done biography of the legendary comic duo Laurel and Hardy (Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly) set during the end of their careers as they realize that their best days may be behind them and the end isn’t too far off as they embark on a theatre tour of post-war Britain. Many laughs and sweet moments as the two bicker and reconfigure as they realize they need one another but film wouldn’t work as well without Coogan and Reilly who are perfectly cast and have exceptional chemistry. Not a great film but a small winner especially for fans of the duo.
