The Impostors

With pleasing silence a spat turns slapstick, amplified by two fellas named Stan & Oliver.

In a building flurry of sugar stoppages and deliberate cigarette streams, our dubious duelists are expertly slotted between the credits that begin Stanley Tucci’s spirited farce, “The Impostors.” The snappy conclusion, a vibrant cross screen leap, is the director jumping in with both feet. We’re better off for it.

    Stan and Oliver, like Laurel and Hardy. I actually never thought about that before. Great film: "To life, and its many deaths."
  • Tim Visterin
    Can anyone tell me what kind of font they used in the End Credits?
    I thought it was brilliant especially the music, I guessed it was Astor Piazzolla's Nuevo Tango. It worked well with the funny scene.
