Thanks Mr P- it's certainly been getting some rave reviews.
As a lifelong L&H fan, it's the first film to maybe tempt me back into a cinema since my last visit to one (in 2006 - The Boat that Rocked!).

I saw it last night and enjoyed it. Steve Coogan is particularly good I thought. I don't think you'd like it if not a fan of slapstick, but it's made me look at several Laurel and Hardy scenes on YouTube which has had me laughing merrily.

That's not much older than yesterday. I last went on New Years Day 1989 to see Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Sat on the smoking side of the cinema too.the last time I went to the cinema was with my wife to watch "TITANIC" we queued for an hour , finally got to the front and they wouldn't let me in , saying , .........women and children first

I love Laurel and Hardy films and got the kids into them too. I’m looking forward to seeing Stan and Ollie after all the positive reviews above.

I watched it on Saturday night and whilst I thought Steve Coogan was brilliant, I would have liked to know more about what they did in the 16 years apart and even a bit more about their life during the first successful days. My wife and I also interpreted it slightly differently as I took it from the couple of scenes that they were both living the high life womanising and gambling most of their early success away, whereas Mrs Slick reckoned that I misunderstood. I'm a big fan, always was despite them both been long passed before I was born, probably why I wanted to know much more than the film was willing to give up. I did enjoy it though.
Me and Mrs 73 a few years ago on holiday went to the Laurel and Hardy museum in ulverston. It’s one man’s life time collection. A great guy he use to run it he’d known Stan too. When he spotted Mrs 73 outside he said aren’t you coming in no am looking after the dog. Not a problem bring him in. It’s moved to a bigger site now. It was in the basement of Stan’s old house. Well worth a visit alsorts of random stuff they even have a side room playing on loop Laurel and Hardy films. Mrs 73 bought a little canvas wallet great for when we go out and about on the bike just holds a card and a bit of change.
Little fact Hardy was quite down to earth and not all big headed about it. Till he died he kept his name in the local phone book.
