The Three Stooges

About This Movie

The Three Stooges (2012) takes a peculiar trip through the slapstick lens of its predecessors. Imagine the original trio, but with a modern twist. The pacing is frenetic, a nod to classic three-reelers, packing in gags with that familiar finger-poking absurdity. They play janitors, yes, but it’s the innocence and sheer silliness that shines through. The practical effects might not always land perfectly, but when they do, it’s satisfying in a way that recalls the old shorts. The performances capture the essence of Larry, Curly, and Moe’s dynamic, albeit in a contemporary context. It’s distinct, in a way, for how it attempts to honor the original while adding a layer of narrative. It won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but for collectors, it’s a unique slice of Stooges history.
