'The Three Stooges' Is No Laughing Matter

From the people who brought you "There's Something About Mary" and "Dumb & Dumber" comes the much anticipated movie about three morons in "The Three Stooges."
It's Larry, Moe, and Curly 2.0. This time around Larry is played by Sean Hayes, Moe is Chris Diamantopoulos, and Curly is Will Sasso.
The film is three episodes drawn into one 90-minute movie. The Stooges do what they can to try to save the orphanage they grew up in. This movie has been talked about for more than 10 years now and, sad to say, it's pretty anticlimactic.
I was never a real big fan of the original Stooges, and it's pretty safe to say that these three were doing impressions rather than a performance. The eye-poking and slapping is so repetitive it's almost sad. This film does not honor their legacy nor does it justify bringing them into the present day. I'm talking to you, Farrelly Brothers.
The flick-o-meter gives The Three Stooges an unlaughable two out of five.
Sure they look like Larry, Moe, and Curly but…if you love Three Stooges, stick with the originals. That being said, get social. Head to my Facebook page, it's called TheBrettside, and click Like.
"The Three Stooges" is playing at AMC Theatres Mansell Crossing 14.

A couple of hours ago this page was inundated with comments pointing out how idiotic it is of Brett to review a movie when he admits never liking the show it's based on. Now all those comments are gone. You're a schmuck and a loser, your initials are BM, and that's what you are a BM.

Hey Brett, grow a pair! Just saw the movie, just like old times, laughed out loud!!! Take your beat down like a man, if you are, leave all the comments up, coward. Humility is a good thing & your pride, well, let's put it in a phrase you might understand, "I think we sunk your battleship!"

Saw it with the family, enjoyed it - especially identifying locations around town. I never really cared for the original Stooges (a little bit went a long way), but this is a fine homage to the originals. Recommended.
