The Three Stooges

It's clear this was made as a tribute to The Three Stooges and it did exactly that. I've read reviews where people say they try way too hard to be its own movie but in no way did I ever come across that idea.

Nowhere near a perfect film, and it could've been a better tribute, but it's delightful and fitting for what it is.

The Farrelly brothers didn't make this movie so it can be one of their greatest achievements. They did it because it draws in all audiences with cartoonish throwback appeal from the original Stooges, three hilarious comedians that the directors clearly loved growing up.

Relax and enjoy the movie.

This movie was a lot of fun. It remains very true to the Stooges form. So, if you are looking for some mindless laughs and a fun evening at the movies, you will enjoy this one from start to finish. Some of the reviewers here seem to have been looking for something more than this film ever promised.

If you are looking for an art house film, or an important and significant film, this one isn't it. If you are looking for a film to be as fresh as the stooges were in their time, this one stays too true to form to fit that bill. Slapstick, not sophistication is the hallmark of this film.

But if you understand the Stooges, and are just looking for some laughs, you can't go wrong here.

I know this movie isn't some cinematic masterpiece but i honestly don't care. The 2012 three stooges reboot was one of my favorite comedies as a kid and even after all these years it still makes me laugh. Yeah it's ridiculous and over-the-top but that's the whole point. It really nails the goofy slapstick energy of the original while somehow managing to feel fun and fresh. The cast clearly committed to the bit and it pays off. The cast actually did a great job playing such cartoonish characters, and even if it's cheesy, it's still a fun time. It's dumb in the best way and sometimes that's exactly what you need. This movie is so dumb in the best way possible. It's peak stupid humor and i think that's what makes it so funny. It's just pure nonsense and physical comedy, and that's exactly what it delivers. No regrets here.

If you still watch the old Three Stooges Shorts from way back when and appreciate their humor, there's no reason you won't love this movie. The setting is contemporary, with iphone's and the jersey shore and what not, but this setting is only used to further punctuate the timeless humor of the stooges. All three actors who portray the stooges do a flawless job and make you actually forget that they are not the originals halfway through the movie. It's as if Larry, Curly and Moe have been pulled out of time and placed into today's society getting into the same type of trouble and running the same type of gags they always would. There really isn't a better way the Three Stooges could have been portrayed in this day and age. The Farrelly brothers do an incredible job doing the character of the Stooges justice, weaving a fantastic Stooge-esque plot and transporting these lovable nitwits into the present day. Heck the Farrelly brothers even made sure to include the classic title slides seen before every Stooges short. It's for this reason I give this movie an extremely high rating, not because it's a profound comedy, but because it had one goal: recreate the enduring humor of the Three Stooges, and with that goal in mind this movie overwhelmingly succeeds.

This wonderful feature-length adaptation of the stupidly funny Stooges includes colorful visuals, hilarious humor, and is quite kid-friendly! In this film, Moe, Larry, and Curly grew up in an Christian orphanage, but then the orphanage has to be demolished. They wouldn't tolerate it, so they go off on a journey to make some money to save their home. Great movie! Full of good laughs, endearing joy, and a heart of innocent stupidity from the Stooges! I also think that the actors who played the comedic trio did a really authentic job of portraying them. I can't wait until it comes out on DVD! It'll be awesome to watch at home! I give this an 8 out of 10 score! Again, great movie!
