Review
Modernised but faithful to the iconic classic shorts, THE THREE STOOGES takes its toll of unstoppable laughter for the physical and slapstick comedy the movie contains. It has slapping, head-bonking and eye-poking that the audience, especially Stooge fans, will enjoy. It's a good thing I've finally waited for the comedy to come out in cinemas, as the Farrelly brothers have done a magnificent job directing this film; both of them (the Farrelly brothers) were also fans of the Three Stooges. The main actors, Chris D, Sean Hayes and Will Sasso, performed excellently for those unlikely three stooges, Moe, Larry and Curly. They stayed true to the acting done by the original actors.

THE THREE STOOGES movie by the Farrelly brothers comes in a close second to their best comedy, Dumb & Dumber. There's nothing wrong with THE THREE STOOGES. It is terrific, it has non-stop laughs, and it's entertaining. Everyone will see them on the big screen and hear Curly's catchphrases like "Nyuk-Nyuk-Nyuk" and "Whoop-Whoop-Whoop."

Star rating: (5/5) Best Movie Ever
