Review of The Three Stooges (2012) by Sirjohn2 — 21 Apr 2012
As a 55 yo, the Stooges were part of my childhood and even through college. I remember being VERY cynical upon first hearing of a movie being made. Saw it last night with two 40 year old guys and 2 teenage boys.
It was much better than I expected. One of those.."so silly it's funny" sort of movies. The adults appreciated it more than the kids. (adults laughing out loud funny). The three stars captured the characters perfectly (amazingly even).
and there is a plot, and plot-twits even..kinda..(but that was secondary to me). TheF Bros. caught the essenese of the stories and jokes. Much research must have gone into it. (tough job, huh?) While the jokes are good, you have to enjoy slapstick humor.
I now hope it does well enough for a sequel. Nothing offensive. There is a disclaimer at the end for kids NOT to do this at home. It wasn't needed in the 40's but I am kind of glad they included it in this day and age.
