The Three Stooges movie review

Overview

The reviewer tears into The Three Stooges movie, calling it a disappointing, depressing miss that fails to capture why the original 1930s TV shorts worked. They expected a big-screen version that would preserve the classic slapstick energy, but instead the film drags for 90 minutes, arguing that the Stooges are funny only in short doses.

Main Takeaways / Highlights

• What works: The biggest praise is that the actors sound exactly like the classic Stooges and perform in a way that matches the TV show’s style.

• What doesn’t: Even with the “right” setup—Stooge-like acting and a slapstick premise—the reviewer says the jokes repeatedly fall flat and the overall execution feels joyless or outdated.

• Unexpectedly entertaining moment: The reviewer singles out the film’s inclusion of the Jersey Shore/Snooki element as the most entertaining part, specifically laughing at Mo getting physical and berating the Jersey Shore crew.

Notable End Gag (PSA)

At the end credits, “models posing as the Fairly Brothers” appear delivering a safety message about the props (that the mallets are fake/rubber) and warns viewers not to try these stunts at home.

The reviewer strongly dislikes the PSA angle, saying it feels intrusive and unnecessary—especially for someone who grew up with the Stooges and supposedly already understood the obvious danger.

Overall Tone / Key Reaction

The reviewer nearly leaves but stays until the end, ultimately concluding that the movie is largely not worth it. They end with an exaggerated insult-like ranking joke: calling it the “best thing” they’ve seen since Jack and Jill (clearly sarcasm).

They also ask viewers what their least favorite Fairly Brothers movie is, and to comment/subscribe.
