      Its not the story that is bad. The biggest problem is that you are not going to be able to emulate or really recapture what it was that makes the Three Stooges shorts so special.. The story itself isn't really massively far off from what the Stooges shorts stories actually were.
      The Three Stooges is just really one of those things that your never going to be able to capture that again, without the actual actors who were the Stooges. The movie was written like it was by someone who liked them but really didn't know how to capture that magic and spirit.

    This movie did succeed in the most surprising ways: the guys playing the Stooges nailed it harder than most people would have thought possible, and the basic tone of the humor mostly stayed true to the originals. What we got was probably as good as it could possibly have been, all things considered.

      The problem is the three stooges were a byproduct of their time. They can't be replicated for today's audiences. I agree this movie was probably as close as you could get to doing anything new with the stooges, but if you ask me, you'd be better off just watching the originals as they're still timeless classics.

    I also grew up loving the Stooges. Nowadays, when it comes to them, what comes to my mind the most is their commitment to the bit. For instance, after a table sawed in half gag, Moe fell on his side and messed himself up REAL bad. The take was still going, so he picked himself up and finished the bit. When the cameras stopped rolling, he passed out.
    Growing up, it made me think that Vaudeville, at least on the stage-side, was pretty hardcore. Especially when you consider these three were slapping the shit out of each other on a regular basis.
    Also, their pun game was always unmatched. The Stooges were a full package.

    Another Good Fact about a Really good Movie that deserves more love for what it tried to give us: The directors, the Farrelly brothers--or rather the two actors playing the directors--reveal at the end of the film how the physical comedy was done. Similarly, in real life, The Three Stooges went on television several times after incidents of children hurting each other while imitating the Stooges eye-poke, head slaps, etc. to reveal how to eye-poke without hurting anyone.

I would’ve honestly preferred if they set it in the 40s or early depression era America. And make three different shorts each spending 30 minutes one where they raise money for an orphanage, the other where they become actors in the other where they plan to murder someone.
    If they ever make a biopic, mini series or movie about the stooges again, I hope they use these actors because they pull these characters off to a T

      Honestly what I’d do is keep the orphanage plot and opening with the little Stooges then have it be when they get out in the world have Teddy be the villain as a Ted Healey parody. Make it that he’s like a TV mogul that inherited the business from his parents and has been running his family business into the ground so starts using Moe, Larry and Curley as stars of a TV show promising them money that he just doesn’t have so he can make millions off of their work. That way you can have the movie be full of classic Stooge style sketches as part of the programme Teddy puts them on, have a cohesive plot, keep the emotional core by having Moe working under the man who took what should have been his life from him and make it based somewhat on the actual experiences The Stooges had to deal with when they were working under Healy

    This movie could've done the exact same crap and failed terribly, but they did just one main thing right above all else.
    They didn't try to make the three stooges modern, but rather just throw them into the modern day. And it worked for the most part.
    As far as the story goes, it was pretty simple, but could've been handled a LOT worse if you ask me.

    Also, while the movie did nail many staple Stooges gags like construction site hijinks and whatnot, I was always a little disappointed that they didn't find a way to sneak in a short side trip to Niagara Falls, or if they did my memory is bad and I didn't pay attention hard enough.

    Fun fact: the actor for ten-year-old Curly is Robert Capron, best known as the original Rowley Jefferson from the first three _Diary of a Wimpy Kid_ movies, starring opposite Zachary Gordon's Greg Heffley and Devon Bostick's Rodrick Heffley. When he was called back for the movie _Dog Days,_ he had to put on a wig that looked like his original mop of red hair, due to him shaving his head for this movie.

    It did try to capture the same same Magic, Energy and Comedy of the classic 3 Stooges Shorts, even with its decent Casting.
    So I guess not EVERYTHING about the Film was bad.

    Another Fun Fact: During the "dentist" scene early in the movie, the three boys claim to be "dabbling in the arts" when Mother Superior comes into the room to summon them to lunch. Two of the three are doing things that mirror interests in the real Stooges' lives. Moe is reading, something (according to his brother Jack) he loved to do. Larry is playing the violin, at which the real Larry Fine was quite proficient (initially the violin training was in response to a childhood accident), indeed good enough that his parents seriously considered sending him to Europe to study at a music conservatory.

    Fun fact: Voice actor Billy West worked in that movie, but he only helped Sean Hayes out with his performance of Larry Fine and coached him his Larry Fine impersonation voice. Billy West was a huge fan of the Three Stooges ever since he was a kid back in the 1950's when he used to watch them on TV in the mornings. Billy West really nailed that Larry Fine voice and he later used it for his Stimpy voice, but in a cartoony pitch.

    Honestly, aside from that disgusting baby squirting scene, and that scene with the Lion's balls, I enjoyed this movie for the most part.
    The pop-culture references and guest cameos don't bug me since even the OG shorts themselves were filled with ones from their time, the people casted as the stooges (especially Larry) did a phenomenal job re-capturing the look and mannerisms as Moe, Larry, and Curly, and those "sub-plots" all happening at once ultimately did tie back into the plot in some way or another and were all wrapped up by the end of the movie

  • @rodian_skypyratz6181
    @rodian_skypyratz6181 10 місяців тому +1

    I have a theory about this movie that since Larry isn’t technically related to Moe and Curly, someone switched him and Shemp at birth. Shemp was always the most cartoonish of the stooges so they might have thought he was too much to take on. If there’s ever a sequel, they gotta integrate Shemp into the plot. Perhaps Joe Besser and Curly Joe DeRita as well.

    My first exposure to the Stooges was from the DOS game, which had a fairly similar plot to the movie.
    The stooges come across an orphanage that's in a state of disrepair and the evil bank manager is threatening to seize the property if the elderly owner doesn't pay the rent within 30 days. So the stooges (I guess out of the goodness of their hearts, it's never explained otherwise) decide to help raise the money to pay for the rent and repairs. You then play a series of minigames, trying to raise as much money as you can - from various odd jobs, finding money on the sidewalk, entering contests, and answering radio trivia questions. All the while avoiding mousetraps on the game select screen and doing slapstick fighting to try and slow the cursor down and keep it from landing on a destination you don't want to end up.
    In the end, there are four different outcomes:
    1. You bring back less than $5000 - the evil bank manager tells the stooges it's not enough and the orphanage is all his now.
    2. You bring back more than $5000, but less than $10,000 - the owner thanks the stooges for saving the orphanage, but expresses regret that it can't be repaired.
    3. You bring back more than $10,000, but less than $15,000 - the owner happily thanks the stooges for saving the orphanage and expresses joy that it's repaired.
    4. You bring back more than $15,000 - same as #3, but in addition, the stooges have enough money left to marry the owner's 3 beautiful daughters.
    (I only recently learned of that last one myself, having never been able to get more than $12,000.)
