What a crime neither was Academy Award nominated

[@mrcritical6751]

Blame Holmes And Watson

[@johnprovince5304]

It didnt last long on Starz either. Its a reflection on us not them.

[@finnmccool684]

They both deserved nominations, at least.

[@madmettlepants7454]

It's so sad Stan continued to write comedy for them after Ollie died but Stan refused to work with anybody else.

[@williscool6590]

Wow the timing is incredible

[@Slenderslayer351]

Weeks or months went into that scene most likely

[@vika0194]

0:40 incorrect timing.

[@ashleyludwig6281]

Ikr! It must have been so difficult to get it so on point👌 the film was magnificent

[@technopidgeon2055]

One of the best movies made so far laurel and Hardy would be proud with the performance of john and steve if they we're still alive to see this. Brilliant movie.

[@whateversunpopular1338]

Their performances and attention to detail really are incredible.

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

David Graham they are both two of the best comic actors in history...and huge Laurel & Hardy fans It was a labour of love

[@davidmccallum3879]

This scene for me really set the tone for the entire movie! When I saw this I knew the rest of the movie was going to be amazing! Lack of Oscar recognition was very disappointing!

[@thomastimlin1724]

Hollywood, as anyone knows, is a fickle community and money machine that dictates it is not popular or politically advantageous to vote for a film like this not made in Hollywood by the big money machine, or at least have their sticky fingers in it financially somehow. No big names like Tom Hanks or Lady GaGa in it with modern songs for the soundtrack to cash in on it usually means limited distribution, instant Oscar failure all on all fronts. Not a youth oriented film either. I know there are occasional exceptions. Yet my 20 year old daughter loved it. Became I had shown her the Music Box when she was young (Oscar Winner, hello?), and a few other L and H short movies, she knew the characters. This film is endearing to me, and many who saw it with me. I had tears in my eyes several times, laughter and sadness. These guys studied and rehearsed in great detail to perfection - that no one has ever done to great lengths before on these two, and also gave it the class that Laurel and Hardy had. You don't have to give Cooper and Reilly the Oscar, they ARE the damned Oscar in their performance. So screw Hollywood. The best takeaway from this is maybe younger people will discover a love of Laurel and Hardy online because of this movie.

[@whitehorseentertainment6019]

The comments on here that are critical must have no clue how difficult it is to emulate a performance like this. Loved the movie - loved their performance. No one can ever replace Laurel and Hardy but they did a great job in paying tribute them.

[@masonpines6349]

White Horse Entertainment the one thing that surprised me is that usually recreations are more stylized and exaggerated to be like people remember it rather than how it actually was. A perfect example would be the Three Stooges. As an aside, if that had been a docudrama it would probably have been up for an Oscar, but I digress. Point is, here the emulation is more subdued which I wonder if it isn’t a subtle artistic choice to reflect the dramatic tone of the film.

[@teletubetodd]

An amazingly accurate emulation in most departments. A few differences between how Ollie held his jacket open and how Stan and he held hands at the end, and the timing was off by a tiny fraction of a meter, but overall a strong tribute to our greatest comedy team ever. Bravo! Thanks for posting!

[@janineharrison5186]

They were marvelous! So many wonderful actors that hopefully will never be forgotten!

[@stevejailbirdmatt]

A pretty accurate attempt right down to the same back projection also in syncronization. An excellent and worthy effort!

[@chrisevans5259]

It was an absolute travesty that this wonderfully crafted, and moving film about the greatest comedy double act the world as ever seen,... ...got snubbed by the Oscars,....it was a great movie

[@NosferatuArucard]

They did such an amazing job.

[@IsaacWale2004]

I know right

[@djmips]

John C. Reilly's Hardy is spot on! Coogan's Laurel is decent but 'the real' Laurel's dancing is sublime and must be difficult to inhabit.

[@Mattstheway]

I remember watching this at the cinema and during this one scene thinking "Wow!" and then as they walk to the stairs in my head I said "John, you gone off on the wrong foot.". Obviously it was never going to match exactly, but I as I had watched Way Out West that many times I knew the choreography back to front. Not saying I was disappointed at all. John and Steve did an amazing job. Loved the movie. Stan and Babe would have been proud.

[@legoshi7894]

@@Mattstheway you know the choreography? Me too!^^

[@MyDenney]

Just excellent. They did Stan and Ollie Justice.

[@stevejailbirdmatt]

Great film! A fan since childhood, l waited 30 years for a movie like this to finally be made and although l had reservations l loved it! The detail was mervelous as were the performances and an exception should have been made when it came to the Oscars. BOTH should have received best actor. Instead - this is the real world and the movie was ignored. Disgusting.

[@ellierfromthebronx4531]

WOW! Almost a mirror image! Stan and Ollie was a great movie. I have it on DVD.

[@kjamison5951]

Superb movie with two diverse actors in Reilly and Coogan.

[@jamestravers6665]

Would love a time machine to go back and see them in person

[@garym6315]

One thing that surprised me was the race diversity in this film. Obviously not a bad thing, but I dont think it's very historically accurate. Check the audience in the cinema here, the box office man in Glasgow, the receptionist in Newcastle or London. I cant imagine a Chinese woman being employed as a receptionist in the Savoy Hotel in 1953.

[@normandavidtidiman9918]

Geez how old are you ?

[@troopship12]

Seeing Stan and Ollie at the cinema was a shared experience. When the trunk went down the staircase at the station everybody recognised the reference. Sheer unadulterated joy.

[@troopship12]

@Gay Campbell "The Music Box" where the pair attempt to deliver a piano up a long flight of stairs, only to lose their grip and watch it run back down again.

[@Lovelycobbler]

Even the extras in the back matched the movement in the original 😩😩😩😱😱

[@epc2965]

They managed to capture the essence and make you believe , such a brilliant portrayal of two long lost greats

[@daniellack3559]

Absolutely fabulous ..thanks so much for posting!

[@jack2breeze]

Very good biopic

[@jacktheladfrost]

I watched Stan and Ollie this week. What a wonderful and brilliant film. Watching this, how fantastic they bothered to time the dance with the background. It's the little things that matter.

[@thomasbrown2418]

So incredibly executed good job guys

[@CiceroLounge]

Absolutely perfect should have got the Acadamy Award

[@joeylopezthaskinns100]

They nailed it! This whole movie they were spot on.

[@rodrigost.3324]

They did a good work! a respectful tribute to the best duo in comedy ever!!!! I dont cry in movies but in that movie i cried in the end scene on their last performance

[@robertomoi2044]

John c Reilly looks incredibly like Oliver Hardy its eerie

[@Christbepraised]

It's like looking in a mirror. Amazing job by the actors

[@jasoncataldi2053]

What a great movie. Stan & Ollie (both 2018 movie & real life) needs more recognition.

[@c.johnson1691]

This scene is my favorite of all Laurel and Hardy films.

[@tomr4129]

Way out west is my fave. Loved these guys since I was 3 lol

[@ScratchthechalkBoard]

Not sure how likely that would have happened but it was cute showing a diverse audience enjoying Laurel and Hardy to the fullest, no qualms. They certainly are a universal if you breath oxygen then you will laugh 😂

[@wasdye2230]

This is way better than Borhap, wish borhap had the same timing for stuff like iwtbf :/

[@andymassingham]

Went in as a complete skeptic at an advance preview and was in tears when this scene came up like 4 minutes into the movie. It plays fast and loose but the love is there.

[@robin302]

Absolutely amazing

[@MarcZERO1980]

The projected backdrop was exactly the same. I'm surprised it was kept from 1937

I loved this movie I went to see it for my 14th birthday at the beginning of the year with all my mates we hadn’t laughed so hard in our lives

[@hpotter22090]

Aren’t there a lot more scenes in the movie featuring recreations of scenes, albeit played by their older 1950s selves?

[@IsaacWale2004]

Yeah. Alot of the old tapes are not well preserved though.

[@SmashupMashups]

I saw the movie just today, and was it moving. I just didn't expect to have the whole rest of the movie to take place with Laurel and Hardy as old men.

My question has nothing to do with this scene but in the scene in where they are judging that beauty show, Hardy has milk 4 sugars in his tea, but we never find out what Laurel has in his tea. I’d love to know :/

Great impersonation. But neither modern actor has quite got the delicious delicacy and lightness of movement of the immortal Stan & Ollie. Good try though!

Me parece que los originales son mas sutiles en los pasos y mas carismaticos al hacerlo.

[@ithewonder]

Brilliant film that is...well both of them.

[@PlasmaKong2]

How did they make the exact same background projection? :o

[@dimitreze]

I thought the same. Maybe they had in the archives. And maybe it was a very used background projection.

[@PlasmaKong2]

I highly doubt they have the original projection film. I think it must be CGI - probably took the background, rotoscoped out L&H and completed the missing with CGI.

[@davetilstone363]

Remarkably, its the original footage. www.slashfilm.com/jon-s-baird-interview/

Imitation is great for honoring other's, but No one can ever replace the original Laurel and Hardy! They can not be duplicated! It's just others trying to make money enticing their fan's to pay money in todays world to line their pockets! It was tried with the Three Stooges movie and That was a fiasco! All about money!
