Laurel & Hardy

[Kent_Mackem]

Thoroughly enjoyed it. The acting was excellent. Plot a little weak at times but a very good film.

Seen it today.. very good.. sad in bits

If you’re a Laurel and Hardy fan

Its a must see

I hope it's good, but I can't get away from the fact that Steve Coogan looks like Steve Coogan.

Coogan does a great job of mastering the mannerisms of Laurel. A very good film after a slow first 15mins.

That's why I didn't enjoy Titanic; was just so unbelievable that it sank.

Would an 11 year old who knows nothing about them still enjoy it? I want to take the bairn but unsure if she'd get it.

Yes, I think they would.

Just been to watch it......

I thought they were both excellent. 7.5/10
Felt a tad emotional at the end

 

[Tin Soldier]

Theyre still class when you watch them now mind - I had way out west on before xmas and the boy was loving it

That's the more slapstick brilliance still think Sons of the Desert is even better

 

[jubblies]

Great old footage of them visiting Tynemouth:

Watch film of Laurel and Hardy at Tynemouth in 1932

There's a scene involving a trunk on the stairs at Tynemouth station in the film.

 

[Tin Soldier]

Apparently they didn’t get on in real life.

They got on brilliantly just different characters Olly worked to live Stan lived to work.

Not a huge fan of L&H (I respect it was of its time but I’m not into slapstick), but all the reviews I’ve read in NY are fantastic: reckon I would still enjoy it?

Going to see this tomorrow, now Cineworld has it as 98mins, do I need to add another 30 minutes for the @&%$ adverts/trailers?

There were virtually none when I saw it

 

[Mij6689]

Even though I hate remakes i will give this a chance, brilliant makeup by the looks of things

Annoyingly the Blackpool game was rearranged for the same time... D'oh!

Didn’t get the chance to see it last week. Still hoping at some point though.
