‘Three Stooges,’ Zero Laughs
The one-time kings of gross-out comedy, the Farrellys, create a gross copy of the original slapstick fools.
From the geniuses who brought you There's Something About Mary and Dumb & Dumber comes a much-anticipated movie about three morons, The Three Stooges.
It's Larry, Moe and Curly 2.0. This time around, Sean Hayes plays Larry, Chris Diamantopoulos is Moe, and Will Sasso is Curly.
The film is three episodes drawn into one 90-minute movie as the Stooges do what they can to save the orphanage they grew up in.

This movie has been talked about for more than 10 years, and, sad to say, it's pretty anticlimactic.
I was never a big fan of the original Stooges, and the new Stooges were doing impressions rather than performances. The eye-poking and slapping are so repetitive, it's almost sad.

Sure, they look like Larry, Moe and Curly, but if you love the Stooges, stick with the originals. This film does not honor the Stooges’ legacy, nor does it justify bringing them into the present day. I'm talking to you, Farrelly Brothers.
The flick-o-meter gives The Three Stooges an unlaughable two out of five.
