The Three Stooges Trailer – I Seriously Want To Poke The Eyes Of Everyone Involved, Till My Fingers Reach The Back Of Their Skulls

I can recall staying over a friend’s house during my elementary school days and being introduced to The Three Stooges. I remember in the very late hours of the evening, laughing hysterically as Moe, the leader and most frequent abuser of the three slapped Curly, the dumbest of the three with his own sandwich. From than on, whenever The Stooges came across my television screen, I would devote some time to laugh at their wacky misadventures.

When the news was out that The Farrelly Brothers: filmmakers who were known for delivering comedies such as “There is Something About Mary” and to a lesser extent “The Heartbreak Kid”, I was a little afraid. When I heard who was rumored to be cast: Sean Penn as Larry, Benecio Del Toro as Moe, and none other than Jim Carrey as Curly, I was filled with excitement and anticipation. Sadly, the news of these three actors coming together to portray the icons proved false, and what we got instead was, Sean Hayes, Chris Diamantopoulous and Will Sasso, I begin to feel a lot less excited for this film.

Now I originally thought that the film, would be three short films, all different in story, more in the fashion of the original Three Stooges productions. However, what we have here is the Stooges, trying to save their childhood home; while also trying being involved in a murder plot. So it is a mix of The Blues Brothers, and a very generic, unfunny thriller. To top it all off, they somehow get into a very successful reality television show. I wash my hands of this film, and will pretend to the fullest extent of my power that it does not exist. I can see no way, how this film will not be a complete disgrace to the legacies left by the original Moe, Larry & Curly.
