Disorder in the Court (1936)

Too much of everything

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

It's obvious that the Three Stooges are NOT everyone's taste, as I've asked a lot of people what they think about them. Many people (mostly kids and guys) seem to like them and many (mostly women and sane people) think they are pretty annoying. I am somewhere in the middle. I am a guy and like them in very small doses or if I want to drive my wife crazy! Mostly, I see them as a second-rate comedy team whose antics might be diverting but they are not even close to being the equal of Laurel and Hardy or several other comedians of the same era, though they are a good bit funnier than Wheeler and Woolsey as well as The Ritz Brothers. Because of this, I doubt if I'd ever score them higher than 7 or 8, but they were generally amiable and fun films (aside from the AWFUL films made with Joe Besser and Joe DeRita). However, if I do feel in the mood for the Stooges, this film (one of their most famous) is about as good as you'll find. The jokes are corny and silly BUT they come at such an alarming speed and the film is so high-energy that you can't help but enjoy yourself. Deep? Coitainly not, but it's still fun.

SPOILERS I will have to admit it, this is the first Three Stooges short that I have seen. Luckily, this is a very excellent and funny short. There are not a lot really good physical comedy out there. The Three Sttoges has very memorable physical humor that can all be seen in Disorder in the Court. The only question I have is what type of moron would actually write and note that says that he killed a guy and put in on a bird's leg?Here is the plot. As you may know, this takes place in a court. Curly, Larry, and Moe are witnesses at a trial. If that is not good enough they are murder witnesses. Gail Tempest is accused of killing a man named Kirk Robin. Gail, Moe, Larry, and Curly are performers at a nightclub. There is a lot of mishap, or disorder, in the court. They have a lot of trouble with a gun, they injure a couple people in the jury when they do their performing routine, and they spray everyone with hoses. Then, everybody finds out that Buck Wing killed Kirk when a parrot has a note that says that he killed him in it's claw.Overall, this is a terrific and funny classic nineteen thirties short. Moe, Larry, and Curly are hilarious, and this short has some very funny and memorable scenes. There is also of the infamous injury gags that the Three Stooges do, such as the eye poke, the slap, and much more. Anway, this is an entertaining and funny short that any fan of comedy or the Three Stooges will like.9/10Recommended Titles: A Plumbing We Will Go.

This is by far, the worst stooge short ever filmed. The plot was terrible, and they did not move from that courthouse. Curly does OK, but his little lines to the judge are kind of dumb. Curly: "He's talking Pig-Latin, I don't know what he's saying!" Man: "He's asking you if you swear..." Curly: "No, but I know all the words!" The Stooges are witnesses in the case of the killing of Kirk Robin. A man named Buck Wing is the culprit (found out at the end). Moe and Larry sit in the crowd while Curly is questioned about the murder. Curly misunderstands, chews gum, and falls out of the witness chair. These are really the only funny parts of this stooge short.I love The 3 Stooges to death, but this is the worst short they ever made. I'm just glad that they made up for this one. Shorts like - Three Little Pigskins, Ants In The Pantry, Three Little Twerps, Three Loan Wolves, and Gents In A Jam - made up for this poor performance.

Without a doubt, this always has been and always will be my favorite stooge flick. I loved every minute of it and you will always get a laugh from the three stooges.The plot is that Gail's life is at stake for a murder that she did not commit at dancer's club. Her only witnesses are the three stooges that can prove that she did not commit the crime. Through their zanny testimonies they find a way to save her life from being thrown away to prison.This is one of the best stooge comedies, and I would highly recommend it to any true stooge fans! 10/10
