The Three Stooges

THE THREE STOOGES (2012) - April 10, 2012
Hmm.  As much as I like the Three Stooges, this just didn't particularly work.  It wasn't outright terrible -- the three leads do an admirable job of portraying the Stooges, and the Farrelly brothers do a pretty good job of replicating the feel of the classic shorts.  But the Stooges are characters who work best in small doses -- I suspect that there's a reason why we never saw a full-length movie starring the three, even in their heyday.  The three men probably realized that their particular brand of comedy would be tough to sustain over a feature-length film, something which is certainly borne out here.  **
