The Three Stooges (2012)

Overrated and overhyped

Fresh and Exciting

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I'd like to start with that I never REALLY liked slapstick comedy, but that if you overdo it, or under do it, it works (strangely stupid, really). This movie is the example of the former, it does it so obnoxiously that I can't help but snicker or grin every few jokes, I even burst out laughing twice, one when the bell fell on the nun, and when I saw Moe on the jersey shore (makes me chuckle even thinking about it). so you might be wondering why it doesn't have a 7,8 or 9, and to that I say: it sucked. that's not enough? okay, let's start with the acting, the nun that is a man (or maybe I'm wrong) would have been more fun if he/she hadn't been so emotionless, same goes with the stooges, the face acting was great, but I got so tired of the voices straight away, but my biggest problem was....drum roll ...the ending, not because, everything like the girl turning out to be perfect, the guy reuniting with his bro, and them getting the money while having Ted around was solved (that helped too), it was that the STOOGES Didn't LEARN ANYTHING! things changed, but not their selves, their stupid understandings, their trouble making crap, OR ANYTHING!!!! but other than that and a few plot holes, I liked it, just for it's fun moments, good job

I was entertained. I don't critic a movie from a snobby self righteous point of view. I laughed a lot and thought the actors did a great job. Sofia V. was great too. She is a talent. I thought the gents playing the stooges were great too. EspeciallyLarry as the voice was dead on. They all were goo. including the nuns and priests and villains. I would love to see a sequel. Again I am easily entertained and like most movies unless they are political opinions and propaganda films trying to push an agenda which now a good 10% of movies are today. I have seen this several times and it still makes me laugh. I have the connection as a kid to the stooges.

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.

Believe it or not, this modern adaptation of the Three Stooges does have some absolutely hilarious moments despite a thin plot and an overlong time. An hour and a half is not long, but for this kind of movie it is. I can take the wackiness of the Three Stooges in small bouts, but not for a feature-length film. That being said, the actors really pulled this one off and they are nearly similar to their real-life counterparts.The Farrelly Brother's adaptation of the classic show tells us the tale of Moe, Larry, and Curly from their younger days in the orphanage to the present day where they have to save their old orphanage from foreclosure.The acting is pretty good. The guys playing the Stooges look and really acted like them so that was a pleasure to see. Larry David is really funny as one of the nuns. However about the cast of Jersey Shore.....uh no thanks! Overall, this is a decent adaptation, perhaps the best one you could ask for. The antics do grow old after awhile, but for what it's worth, they are quite funny. I do like the stomach-punching and the eye-gouging the best. There are some moments here that cracked me up big time and that actually surprised me. I thought this would be a total flop, but thankfully it's not. I rate this film 7/10.
