Contents: The true story of Hollywood's greatest comedy double act, Laurel and Hardy, is brought to the big screen for the first time. Starring Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly as the inimitable movie icons, Stan and Ollie is the heart-warming story of what would become the pair's triumphant farewell tour. With their golden era long behind them, the pair embark on a variety hall tour of Britain and Ireland. Despite the pressures of a hectic schedule, and with the support of their wives Lucille (Shirley Henderson) and Ida (Nina Arianda) - a formidable double act in their own right - the pair's love of performing, as well as for each other, endures as they secure their place in the hearts of their adoring public.
The fat and skinny "Stan and Kerry" used to be the most popular comedy duo in the world, but with the passage of time, the popularity of this "comedy troupe" gradually declined, and gradually disappeared in front of the audience. In the face of this situation, they decided to go on a tour to try to turn the tide. Although the audience was very few at the beginning, they gradually recovered the hearts of a large number of fans by virtue of their excellent tacit understanding, humorous bridge, and the ability of speaking, learning and singing. At last, they even made a sensation that it was hard to find a ticket. Unexpectedly, at this time, the health of Kerry (played by John Welley) issued a warning signal, and the contradiction between him and his partner Stan (played by Steve gogan) for many years was gradually emerging. With the doctor's stern warning, Kerry decided to stop the performance. But how can they give up their favorite stage when they love performance and cherish each other's friendship?
