The Three Stooges-Review by Keith Kelly

  • 12 years ago
The slapstick characters Moe, Larry and Curly are back on the big screen, together again for the first time since their last appearance in the 1940's. That's a long stretch of time for a comeback! Only this time, they are not played by the originators-Moe and Curly Howard and Larry Fine, but instead are reincarnated by 3 remarkably similar looking and sounding actors who do a pretty fine job (pun intended) of bringing their characters back to life.
I know the idea is sacrilegious to some, but the Farrelly Brothers mostly succeed in their version of the Three Stooges. All the actors, including the pre-teen versions of our knuckleheads, are spot-on in their characterizations. From the cadence of their voices, to their stances, to their distinctive facial expressions and actions, they all bring back strong memories of the original Stooges. Even the sound effects are right on the money. This film is a living, breathing homage to the original Stooges
