WHAT'S IT ABOUT
Stan Laurel and Oliver “Babe” Hardy, the original slapstick comedy duo who broke the straight guy / funny guy mould, embark on a gruelling theatre tour of the UK as they plan to kick-start their career with a silver screen version of Robin Hood.
Like all biopics, many liberties have been taken, combining events to make a more interesting story.
Yet it's the simplest of stories: a love story of the platonic kind.
While the cast are exemplary in their depiction of personas and comedy routines, Stan & Ollie is more of a reminder to seek out the original and bathe in their genius.
