In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Additionally, it had a plot -- the guys were trying to something, which wasn't necessarily missing from the originals.I used to to watch the reruns in the early 70s when I was 8. I recently watched a few * stopped before the end -- wasn't interested; too much slapstick.This film is enjoyable, even if you never saw the originals.
If you are a fan of the original 3 Stooges this is a major disappointment. It might have some appeal as a stand alone movie. If you've seen and love the originals, don't bother watching, otherwise you might give it a look.
Meh... I had a FEW good laughs with this movie, but overall, it really wasn't anything to get excited about. I went to see it with my dad(who is a Three Stooges fan) and we didn't really have that much fun with it. Here are my problems:1. The Story: The story isn't that good. It goes like this. Moe, Larry, and Curly need to save their orphanage from being shut down. The story had potential, but it was poorly executed.2. The Acting: I can tell the three actors tried their BEST to feel like the audience was watching the original series with the originals. But they fell short. Now Here Are My Likes:1. The Comedy: The comedy was actually pretty good. There was a scene where Teddy(I think that's his name) introduces the Three Stooges to an iPhone, to which Curly responds by putting one of his eyes in the face of the phone and tried saying hi to someone.That's about all I can think of that I really enjoyed in this movie.
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.
