24.com Ilan Preskovsky Stan & Ollie may not exactly stray far from well-worn biopic tropes, but that doesn’t stop it from being a film that, much like its two incredible stars, seldom puts a foot wrong. Quite why it took so long to get here, then, is anyone’s guess but it’s a pleasure to say that it was well worth the wait. | 15 | |

CommonSenseMedia Jeffrey M. Anderson Gentle, affectionate portrait of aging legendary comics. | 15 | |
ScreenIt Jim Judy They’re certainly fun to watch, but this is Coogan and Reilly’s show and the two make for believable flesh, blood, and soul representations of the real-life men both on stage (from what I recall) and off that (which I’m guessing is accurate in full or at least to some degree). While the scale of the story is small, that’s appropriate for this all-too-familiar tale of once mega-famous performers still out there, grinding away, even if their audiences and resultant fame are mere shadows of themselves. | 13 | |
