This comedy seems to be perfect for our dumbed down society

I grew up a fan of the Stooges. I will acknowledge that they can only be imitated and never duplicate, especially Curly. While I didn't want to enjoy this film, I found myself laughing in the beginning at the first gag when an infant's stooge fingers came out of a sack and "doinked" the nun in the eyes. The young stooges were also a treat as they were able to imitate the famous gags and lines. One had to have some familiarity with the Stooges to catch the humor such as when they tried to revive a nun by gently slapping her (Larry David) on the face and saying "Say a few parables" instead of their normal "Say a few syllables" line. Yes, I thought that was funny. I also enjoyed the the way they used their titles and sign names as puns the way the original Stooges did in their famous lawyers "Dewey Cheatam, and Howe" now used in "Car Talk" gag credits.There were scenes that worked and some that didn't work. Sean Hayes as Larry was the weakest of the three, perhaps because his head was too thin. There were some lines that they missed. Instead of "Where are your manners?" they should have used "Where's your Emily Post." When Curly spins around on the floor, that needs to be sped up slightly. It doesn't work in real time. The big to-do about Kate Upton in a hot nun's swim suit last about 3 seconds near the end of the film. If you are not a serious Stooge fan, you should wait for the rental.No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.

before I walked into this film, I had never ever watched any of the three stooges shorts. well, I watched one, and it was funny. So, I didn't know what to expect to be honest. will it be good or will it be bad?The Answer? Brilliant!I loved this film so much, I love how the film is all slapstick and heartfelt at the same time. Sean Hayes, Will Sasso and Chris Diamantopoulos did a damn good job on playing Larry, Curly & Moe. in all fairness, I'm gonna give this film a 9/10. for all the slapstick and the brilliant portrayal of the stooges.

On paper I would be wary of a Three Stooges film, outside of the USA there were rather an unknown quantity, younger viewers would be unaware of them and would there silly antics work.The Farrelly Brothers are known for their slapstick comedies with the added twist of bad taste.Remarkably the film works rather well. The three leads get into the roles with gusto although the plot is silly with slapstick and sporadically funny.Kids would actually enjoy this and the film is broken down in three parts so it plays like three shorts of the Three Stooges.However it does not have the freshness and zaniness of Dumb and Dumber.
