'The Three Stooges' Is No Laughing Matter

The Three Stooges get a new look with some fresh new faces, and no one is laughing.

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 2 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.

Brett is a lousy judge of comedy, IMO. He thinks comedy has to be foul mouthed and sleezy to be funny. I grew up on the stooges and felt they couldn't be recreated with justice, but I was wrong. I was in the movie and worked with the guys and everything they did they tried to honor the original stooges. I believe they Did!
