less than amazing

When the reproduction of some of Laurel and Hardy's material makes one laugh out loud, they are doing something right

You refer to it as bit melancholy, and I guess it was, but I might characterize it as more sentimental than melancholy, and the reconciliation gave a completeness to the story, that was satisfying

In my view it was a beautiful tribute to the life long friendship, and team of Laurel, Hardy, and their spouses

Definitely agree with the OP
