The Three Stooges Movie Reviews

This was hilarious! You parents may think "It's just like Kung Fu Panda! It is pointless!" Well, it is not pointless! It has a very good synopsis and I can't tell you what it's about, or else the SPOILERS signs will be on patrol.

Too ambitious plot line. Flat humor. Bad acting.

2/10	lisa@ - first review 16.11.2012 - age: 13-17

I am not a fan of the Three Stooges but this was funny in some spots. The Stooges do not fit in with the era they are in.

Horrible. Yes, the actors were spot on in their portrayal, but the movie as a whole is so incredibly bad it's unwatchable.

Actually probably funny. But why did they have to throw in foul language that I don't want me grandkids bombarded with.

My husband's very favorite in the world. The Three Stooges.

For Stooges fans this movie has the mandatory minimum gags that will satisfy you and did have me laughing. Otherwise not a great film.

I really enjoyed this. I watched 3 Stooges movies ages ago, and the three actors cast did a wonderful job (as did the boys playing the young Stooges) Larry David was hilarious. This movie is slap stick - this is over the top sillyness. If you want to see Midnight in Paris, then rent that, not this.

Just great, dumb, and hilarious! Like a lost tape from the golden years of the The Three Stooges except in color. Everybody in the theater laughed themselves silly. A wonderful comedy for the whole family!

Really sucked, all the funny parts were on the previews... not worth the money paid.

3/10	crw421@ - first review 6.5.2012 - age: 50+

Go see this movie at an off price theatre. The 1's and 2's reviewing this movie said it was stupid, well the Stooges were stupid, dah! I was surprised at the number of people who liked this movie. It transcended the ages and the sexes. Though I caught myself laughing several times I was the only person in the theatre. Need I say more?

When I walked into this movie, I expected it to be crap. Oh boy was this good. It had everything the movie needed to be great: great leading actors, funny stories and fantastic slapstick fun. Overall, a great and fun outing.

Boy did this movie bring me back. I loved it and thought the actors did a really great job in the roles of the Three Stooges. My kids thought it was very funny too.

You should not have to explain why it is, just too far out of date, slapp stick is no longer funny.

1/10	prestonmb@ - first review 26.4.2012 - age: 50+

Funny, funny, funny. The Farrelly bros, are obviously fans of the Stooges and they did an excellent job in this homage to the immortal threesome. The nine actors who portrayed the stooges did first rate work in bringing them to life. Though they left out a very funny joke, from the first trailer, out of the movie it is well worth the ticket price.

I laughed my _____ off!!! (as the kids would say) And there were kids, elderly, inbetween ages and I heard roars of laughter from everybody in the audience. I was resistive to see this movie with my husband who loves slapstick. I did watch the old Three Stooges in black and white and I have to say that the Farrelly Brothers did a brilliant job of reproducing this modern movie while still retaining the true characters of Larry, Curly and Moe. (They displayed slapstick perfection) How nostalgic! It brought me back to good old clean fun, one that will keep you laughing throughout the movie, no matter if you have seen the original or not. Jane Lynch plays a role so opposite to her one in "Glee," but as always does a superb job. With all the silliness and reminiscence of the Jerry Lewis films, there still remained a heartwarming and decent plot. Is it time for some laughs? Are you stressed out from many things? Take a chance on laughing so hard, you may just not be able to stop. I did and I'm so glad I went. Try to be open, it might just pay off. Sss-see ya next time!

5/10	kozwell@ - first review 24.4.2012 - age: 26-35

The actors did a pretty good job imitating the original stooges. I enjoyed it, but felt something was missing. Maybe its just that nobody could replace the original Moe, Larry, and Curly.

I always loved watching the Three Stoogies when I was a child and when watching the movie, it brought back good memories. I thought they were depicted perfectly. You have to love slap-stick comedy to enjoy it.

The characters remind me of the real stooges! They are sooo hilarious! The whole concept was to save an orphanage! A really funny adventure from there! My brother liked when they did the classic move, the eye poking! This movie is great for a family to laugh out loud! I know I sure did, so go down to the movies and watch it! Larry, Moe and Curly are waiting to humor you!!

While I do enjoy physical humour, I found this one fell short. It almost had too much story. The beginning was far too slow for me. I was hoping for more scenes that showed those patented "exquisite-timing" scenes with their assorted bangs and clangs. There were only a few of these. In this film those intricately choreographed scenes were comedic and true to the original crew, but as mentioned were few and far between. As for the actors portraying the Stooges they were fine but I thought Curly was a bit too burly. (Sorry for that.) On my way home from the theater I was telling my son that the movies in my day always had a four things without fail: Some previews of upcoming movies, followed by a cartoon (usually Woody Woodpecker) and then a ten-minute Three stooges film followed by the main film. Given the price of movies these days, maybe we should return to that. As for this flick you might wait for the video unless you are a true stooges' fan.

I didn't hear one person laugh when we were there. I tried so hard to find something to even make me smile. Right from the get go, some things were even very offensive to me, and I'm no prude. Note also to First Nations who have been to residential school to beware, I can see triggers there for you. We kept hanging in and hoping it would get better but actually left an hour into it.

[...] Only you brought up the subject of prudiness. Regarding your First Nations comment I believe that you are being too generalistic. Any kid brought up in an orphanage or even in foster care may find parts of this movie a bit distressing, as it might remind them of an unhappy experience. That whole facet of the movie was an anachronism as it was set in present day yet it had an orphanage (with nuns in habits) which no longer exist. Perhaps the producers wanted to save a few bucks and did not want to retro-fit the props. I do agree with your overall take on the movie but did give it a slightly higher score as there were a few well rehearsed/choreographed scenes such as the bell tower.
psterl3384 - 23.4.2012 - age: 36-49

It was more than just the fact that there was an orphanage and nuns, survivors only will know what parts I am referring to. Many more than a few people will find parts distressing, and I found it shocking that things were supposed to be funny when in real life it would be anything but. I just wasn't prepared for that kind of sick humour.
marion@ - 24.4.2012

I understand where you are coming from. There are basically two issues that you may be referring to. Neither are appealing forms of "humor" to most adults. But the target audience would be "stooge fans" or kids. Most of the things that bother you would be above their heads. On some levels the treatment of the children by the nuns was not unlike what truly happened to many Canadian kids in catholic schools until the sixties- so it was poking fun at the various personalities. This aspect had nothing to do with the orphanage but more so directed at catholic education in the fifties etc. So any triggers for natives would be similar to those held by regular kids in Catholic schools. If you are referring to predatory actions by authority figures, well, those triggers would be there for ANY movie that has a school or an orphanage run by religious figures. Ireland is going through a similar scandal as are many other places. We do have to give credit to the nuns and priests who by-and-large educated North America for free. (As long as you were "saved") There may have been a few bad apples but generally they provided a needed service to many. But is it funny? Most forms of humor have a good and bad side. Usually attempts at humor poke fun at someone or something. (Fat people, skinny people, blondes, ex-wives, wives, golfers... etc) Based on the reviews in here the movie is a small hit, with only a few detractors. Your reaction may be a bit over the top.

It was like stepping back in time, great movie, lots of laughs, no swearing, sex, just old fashioned slapstick. Well done!!

We didn't laugh once. In fact no one in the theatre laughed other than a small snicker once during the show. Maybe stupid was funny at one time but this was just a big bore, characters unlikeable.

Not so funny for me who had already seen the former "Three Stooges" and other old comical movies with actors such as Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Bud Abbott, Lou Castello and so on. However, this movie is not bad and could be much better...
