About This Movie

Three Pests in a Mess, directed by Del Lord, is one of those delightful comedies that showcases the trademark chaos of the Stooges. You know the vibe—wacky inventions and slapstick humor at its finest. Here, they're inventors trying to patent a ridiculous fly-catching device, but their quest spirals into a madcap chase with some not-so-bright crooks thinking the Stooges are big winners. The pacing feels just right, balancing the absurdity with those classic, over-the-top physical gags that define their style. You'll appreciate the practical effects, especially how they create the fly-catching antics, even if it’s all tongue-in-cheek. It's a lighthearted romp that really leans into the absurdity of its premise, making for a fun viewing experience.
