The Age of Commercialism

Sorry, this movie sucks

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This is another so-so Three Stooges vehicle: as swing musicians, they're the chief witnesses in the trial of a nightclub murder (where the accused is the young chanteuse in their act). The implausible situations that ensue are often wacky-for-wackiness's-sake (such as the dotty old lady in the jury giving her phone number to the prosecuting attorney), though the section in which Curly takes the stand provides some undeniable visual and verbal hilarity. Eventually, the boys – along with their scantily-clad companion – perform a musical number in order to reconstruct the night of the murder. The riotous climax, then, sees an over-pressurized water hose running riot in the courtroom…until, finally, a parrot reveals the identity of the real killer!

This is one of the all-time famous Three Stooges films. It's total insanity, start-to-finish, and even though it's corny it still gets a ton of laughs even today. To me, it also demonstrates the comic genius of Curly.All the action takes place in court and we see only one witness: Curly, of all people! He and the boys are trying to get their friend "Gail Tempest" (those who remember actress Gail Storm will appreciate this humor) out of a murder charge. "Who killed Cock Robin" is the question here.Curly goes through his classic routine of trying to take his hat off, raise his right hand and put his left hand on the Bible all at the same time! It's almost become a classic routine. He does other things in here, too, that only Curly could pull off.Watching this yesterday for the first time in about 20 years and probably the 10th overall, I still laughed out loud at several things, namely: What the jury looked like after the attorney says, "It is merely an attempt to influence this intelligent, broad-minded and most-intelligent jury!" (You see 12 of the dumbest-looking people you've ever seen!); Moe shooting a "tarantula" (some guy's wig) and Larry doing his Tarzan yell.What can you say? This is The Three Stooges at the height of their hilarity.

During the 1930's, there were a fair number of soap opera type films released that take place in courtroom dramas. "Potboilers" is the actual term for such a movie. Obviously, and this was done all the time with the Stooges, this is a takeoff on such a type of movie. I can just see Lionel Barrymore cross examining a witness that's vital to proving his client innocent and BOOM! Here's the Stooges popping in with all their mayhem and anarchy. Example: after removing some chewing gum from Moe's nose, Larry throws it on the floor, stomps on it and starts screaming, "Ahooo! Ahhhhooo!" Moe replies,"You're not in the woods, Tarzan!" *SLAP* And it just keeps going all through this nice little short. A toupee is taken by the boys for a tarantula and Moe grabs the baliff's gun and plugs it five times. More and more and more! You'll have to watch this one more than once so you won't miss any of the fast paced antics.

This hilarious short comedy is one of the best-remembered Three Stooges movies, with plenty of zany slapstick and other gags that make very good use of the courtroom setting. It builds up nicely, starting with some light comedy including puns and sight gags, and it ends up in a typical Stooges free-for-all.The story starts with Moe, Larry, and Curly being called as witnesses in a murder trial, and it adds just enough detail to the trial itself to maintain a story line in the midst of the gradually increasing chaos. Many of the props in the courtroom, from the evidence exhibits to the furniture, are used to good effect.The setting works very well in bringing the Stooges with their free-wheeling approach to things into the courtroom with its staid, time-honored ways of doing things. It's funny in itself, and it allows for some amusing clashes, which at times also poke fun at the absurdity of some of the court system's archaic customs and terminology. It's especially enjoyable to watch the court functionaries attempting to 'swear in' Curly as a witness, a sequence that Curly pulls off especially well."Disorder in the Court" really has everything that you hope for in a Three Stooges comedy, and it's among their best movies.
