While trying to save their childhood orphanage, Moe, Larry and Curly inadvertently stumble into a murder plot and wind up starring in a reality television show (www.imdb.com).
Director: The Farrelly Brothers (Shallow Hal, The Heartbreak Kid, Hall Pass)
Starring: Sean Hayes, Will Sasso, Chris Diamantopoulos, Jane Lynch, Sofia Vergara, Jennifer Hudson, Larry David
The Three Stooges have been entertaining audiences for over 90 years now. Moee, Larry and Curly's slapstick comedy is widely known, but a younger audience of the 21st century won't be familiar with their antics. 2012's The Three Stooges does little for their reputation, as the Farrelly Brothers turn up their style of humour several notches. Their satire is repetitive and the laughs absent. By the second act, when Moe (Diamantopoulos), Larry (Hayes) and Curly (Sasso) reach the city to raise money to save the orphanage they grew up in, it starts to grate and tire effortlessly. The Farrelly Brothers have got the right idea, but it's down to a time worn trio and their outdated ways that render The Three Stooges as one for the kids
2/5
