Featured review
Tired and turgid
I never liked Morecombe and Wise, so I came at this witha built in bias. I love Britsh comedy with Morecomve and Wise being one of only a few exceptions. This is a very slow going viewing experience, and while I got half way through, the slowness of the story, the lack of focus and the lack of humour for a 21st century audienc. This Is really 1920s/30s music hall humour so while it may have appealed to older people in tje late 70s, it doesnt work today. Other biopics and comedy doubles like Abbott and Costellaand Laurel and Hardy worked because the emphasis was on the relationship, not the laughs. This takes the other approach and as M and W's audience is mostly gone...it doesn't stand up.
