I can safely say the slapstick was humorous, me and my lil bro enjoyed it and I don’t think this was made by the concept of “out with the old, in with the new” but rather more of a homage to what make the Stooges great and how they should roll.

…Check em’ out, they have their own youtube channels, really free flowing.

…And, I knew these peole were making the movie as far back as 2003, some interview on one of the 2nd Age websites that didn’t suck, they gave some long-term planning, and heavy detail/movement forwards/expressionistic hypotheticalism.

…Knew in advance, and it still gives fireworks to my senses.

If you haven’t seen this, you should. It really does everything right.

I cornered one friend by asking what her favorite funny moments were, and she listed only three until I asked her thoughts on some of the other laugh-out-loud moments that I vividly remembered, and her reply was often, “Oh yeah, I laughed at that part, too.” While some people may not enjoy Stooge comedy, or they may have a bad impression overall, I’ve managed to get almost everyone to admit that they not only enjoyed several scenes in the Three Stooges movie, but that it made enough of an impression that they easily remembered a lot of the films jokes. And overall isn’t that what a good comedy is supposed to do? What The Three Stooges has against it is that it’s a similar situation with the Farrelly Brother’s previous hit, Dumb and Dumber, where you either did or did not like the overly stupid humor, but despite your experience there are always a few scenes that made you laugh.

But past the “so stupid it’s hilarious” humor that some people might not care for, there was one tear-jerker moment in the movie that should make almost anybody’s eyes swell up, fan of the Three Stooges or not. Harkening back to the beginning of the movie and the secret reason why Moe, Larry and Curly were never adopted, the events of that scene come back and crash on Moe’s shoulders after a particularly violent and well choreographed fighting frenzy. At that moment, Moe bites his tongue while Larry and Curly finally part ways with him. The only people that Moe has in the entire world, the two friends for whom he had sacrificed everything for, leave him, alone, in the dark. It’s a powerful scene mostly due to Chris Diamantopoulos’ (Moe’s) fantastically remorseful expression as he watches his two best friends walk out of his life.

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised that the film was no where near as cringe-worthy as the trailer made it out to be. Sean Hayes, Chris Diamantopoulos, Will Sasso fit perfectly into their respective roles, perfectly capturing the mannerisms, vocal patterns, and humor, ultimately selling the entire movie on their performances alone. The comedy itself is reminiscent to classic Three Stooges skits, but there are a few groan moments, none of which derail the movie as a whole. The Three Stooges is light on plot, but it’s a very good comedy where (like Dumb and Dumber) the misadventures on a normally simple journey that makes up the film. Ultimately, The Three Stooges is an enjoyable family movie, and a pleasant experience for fans of slapstick comedies. However, it is not a comedy for everyone, and just as there is an audience for this brand of humor, there will be those who will feel that this ‘low-brow’ comedy is a waste of their time. If you are not a fan of The Three Stooges, and if you despised the movie Dumb and Dumber, you would probably be better spending your money elsewhere.
