Watch The Three Stooges For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Just perfect...

Admirable film.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The Three Stooges (2012): Dir: Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly / Cast: Chris Diamantopoulos, Sean Hayes, Will Sasso, Sofia Vergara, Jane Lynch: Based on the classic slapstick films featuring three distinct individuals whose methods evolve around clumsiness, pratfalls, and total absence of mind. Three babies are dropped off at an orphanage run by nuns but they grow to adulthood there because any attempts to have them adopted are met with chaos. When the orphanage is threatened to be closed down, the three carefree guys who are known as Moe, Larry and Curly set out on the road in hopes of raising the money needed. They receive an offer from a woman who wants her husband knocked off but they soon recognize her husband as someone who grew up at the orphanage. Peter and Bobby Farrelly deserve credit for creating what may be the best crack at a Stooges film that can be had. This does not rank with their best work, which includes There's Something About Mary and Kingpin, mainly due to simplistic plotting, formula storytelling and an ending that hams up the sentimentalism. What does work is three pitch perfect performances by Chris Diamantopoulos as Moe, Sean Hayes as Larry, and Will Sasso as Curly. They embody the mannerisms and physical gestures with extreme hilarity. Supporting roles are standard cardboard including Sofia Vergara as the villain out to get her hands on her husband's cash. Jane Lynch plays Mother Superior but unfortunately the role is not as superior as her talent deserves. While not very demanding, this film delivers a respectful tribute to the classic trio. Score: 6 ½ / 10

Watched this movie for the second time tonight after not having seen it for a while. Yup, I laughed, especially went they went all out on each other with the slap and eye pokes. Wasn't sure what to think when I heard they were going to make a Three Stooges movie. The best thing is the directors kept to the original style comedy of the 30's era when Curly was part of the team. Yes, a little corny by today's standards, but it fit the movie well. I thought the there actors playing Curly, Larry, and Moe did a fantastic job of re-creating one of comedy's best acts. You may have had to grow up with the Stooges to realize how well done this film was, and why the humor is the way it is.

Are the Farrellys done? Apparently this is the big project they've been wanting to make ever since they first started, but two decades worth of thought couldn't make it any good. It has to be said though, this movie has some pretty decent gags. When you compare it to their other recent works, like "The Heartbreak Kid", you laugh a lot more. But somehow someway, "The Three Stooges" is still very hard to sit through. I know you can't make a Three Stooges reboot (or whatever the hell they call remakes nowadays) without slapstick, but by the fifth time you see them poke each other in the eye you've seen it. Particularly Will Sasso's Curly gets incredibly tiresome within the first twenty minutes. That's probably why the real guys always stuck to brief sketches, because it's all so repetitive. The old slapstick also doesn't gel at all with all the new stuff involved, particularly with the rather hackneyed idea of bringing in "Jersey Shore". There are actually some laughs in this movie, but it just goes absolutely nowhere so you tend to tune out.

Believe it or not, this modern adaptation of the Three Stooges does have some absolutely hilarious moments despite a thin plot and an overlong time. An hour and a half is not long, but for this kind of movie it is. I can take the wackiness of the Three Stooges in small bouts, but not for a feature-length film. That being said, the actors really pulled this one off and they are nearly similar to their real-life counterparts.The Farrelly Brother's adaptation of the classic show tells us the tale of Moe, Larry, and Curly from their younger days in the orphanage to the present day where they have to save their old orphanage from foreclosure.The acting is pretty good. The guys playing the Stooges look and really acted like them so that was a pleasure to see. Larry David is really funny as one of the nuns. However about the cast of Jersey Shore.....uh no thanks! Overall, this is a decent adaptation, perhaps the best one you could ask for. The antics do grow old after awhile, but for what it's worth, they are quite funny. I do like the stomach-punching and the eye-gouging the best. There are some moments here that cracked me up big time and that actually surprised me. I thought this would be a total flop, but thankfully it's not. I rate this film 7/10.
