slapstick never dies
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.
The Three Stooges Are Awesomely Funny!
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!
People trash it but it's not THAT bad
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.

A Near Perfect Comedy & Perfect Casting
I thought this was an excellent and incredibly accurate depiction of the 3 Stooges, and very funny. They emphasized all of their most hilarious slapstick maneuvers, and the sound effects were true to form as well. Good job to the 3 actors who play the stooges, job well done. I never grew up watching the original Stooges thanks to my dad I got introduce to them, that being said, and like I said before this 3 actors got perfectly cast as The 3 Stooges, and was a really good comedy, I really enjoyed it a lot, everything is so accurate and so on point, yes sometimes is cheesy, but that is the whole point of The Stooges, I really liked this movie alot, I give " The 3 Stooges" a 7 out of 10 Stars.

This depiction of The Three Stooges in a modern day setting portrayed by other actors is a fun tribute to them
You know, when I read that Peter and Bobby Farrelly were going to make a movie starring actors impersonating The Three Stooges, I was a little skeptical especially when the announced stars were people like Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro. But they calmed down and instead cast actors like Sean Hayes, Will Sasso, and Chris Diamantopoulos who did fine in acting exactly like Larry, Curly, and Moe, respectively, when portraying the legendary comics. And while there's somewhat of a sentimental plot involving some orphan kids, it never goes in treacly territory as there's always some wonderfully staged slapstick scenes that undercuts that. Oh, and there's also some hilarious scenes involving the cast of "Jersey Shore". In summary, this version of The Three Stooges is highly recommended for anyone not minding seeing this legendary comedy team played by other actors or anyone who haven't even heard of them yet and wants to see more of them.
Did you know
- TriviaIn the film, Moe is in charge of the seed money. In reality, Moe Howard kept track of all of The Three Stooges' finances--Larry Fine liked to play the horses and Curly Howard would spend much of his money on women. So Moe made sure that some of their money was invested for when their careers ended. Moe himself retired a wealthy man.
- GoofsWhen Larry and Curly reunite with Moe on the Jersey Shore set, the producer who got Moe on the show is surprised to see there are three of them, conveniently forgetting he was watching all three together on stage before Larry and Curly walked off and he gave Moe the part.
- Crazy creditsRight before the end credits, 2 actors posing as the Farrelly Brothers appear on screen to deliver a "Don't Try This At Home" announcement. Also, towards the end of the closing credits, there is a music video featuring The Three Stooges and 'Jennifer Hudson'.
- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, the distributor was advised that the film was likely to receive a 12A classification but that their preferred PG classification could be obtained by making cuts in five sequences. These were to remove four sequences showing everyday objects being used in a potentially dangerous manner that young children may copy (a vegetable peeler used on a man's head, a cheese grater used on a man's foot, hair tongs used on a woman's tongue and a man's head in a microwave) and a line of dialogue about teaching children to play with matches. When the finished version of the film was submitted for formal classification, the recommended cuts had been made and the film was classified PG.
