We Want Our Mummy

About This Movie

We Want Our Mummy is this fun little mix of adventure and comedy with just the right amount of horror to keep things interesting. The Three Stooges, known for their slapstick antics, land in Egypt on a quest for the mummy of king Rootin-Tootin, hoping to cash in on a museum prize. You can just picture them stumbling through the tomb, bumping heads with some bumbling villains along the way. The pacing is quick, and the practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a certain charm to the proceedings. The performances? Well, they all bring that classic Stooge energy, and the whole thing feels like one big madcap chase. It's not high art, but it’s distinctly entertaining.

We Want Our Mummy has seen some varied releases over the years, primarily in VHS and DVD formats, but finding a good print can be a bit of a challenge. Its cult following among Stooge collectors keeps it on the radar, though, offering decent value for completionists. The film's blend of humor and horror, typical of the era, adds layers to its appeal, especially for those interested in the evolution of comedy in cinema.
