Review of The Three Stooges (2012) by Jim S — 19 Sep 2012

I went into this movie knowing I was going to hate it, but realized that my expectations were way wrong. This is definitely a dumb, pointless film with a thin plot, bad acting, and played out jokes. I was disappointed in that but then realized that the Three Stooges I watched and loved as a kid consisted of dumb, pointless films with thin plots, bad acting, and repetitive jokes.

I think the Farrellys actually did a good job in being faithful to the originals. They knew they'd never be able to capture that magic, but they had a lot of fun with it and made a not awful film.

I'm not saying it's a great movie, but I surprised that I didn't hate it.
