The Three Stooges - DVD Review

DVD Synopsis:

The Farrelly Bros. (There’s Something About Mary, Dumb & Dumber) bring back a beloved classic comedy act with THE THREE STOOGES, a contemporary take on America’s favorite trio of boneheads coming to Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download July 17 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Sean Hayes (“Will & Grace”), Chris Diamantopoulos (“24”) and Will Sasso (“MADTV”) portray the troika of knuckleheads in three hysterical misadventures.

Left on the doorstep of an orphanage run by nuns, newborns Moe (Diamantopoulos), Larry (Hayes), and Curly (Sasso) grow up finger-poking, nyuk-nyuk-nyuking and woo-wooing their way to uncharted levels of knuckleheaded misadventure. Now, out to save their childhood home, only The Three Stooges could become embroiled with an oddball murder plot…while stumbling into starring roles in a phenomenally successful TV reality show.

The Three Stooges is fun for the whole family. With hilarious supporting performances from Larry David (“Seinfeld”), Jane Lynch (“Glee”), Sofia Vergara (“Modern Family”) and Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls), THE THREE STOOGES “Just Say Moe” edition Blu-ray is loaded with special features including a collection of entertaining and punchy pieces and a unique blend of classic “Stooge” elements in a contemporary setting.

My Review:

Honestly, I've never been a fan of The Three Stooges on TV.  I couldn't handle the constant nonsense and immaturity.  With that said, I was willing to watch The Three Stooges on DVD with an open mind.  You won't find any deep meaning in The Three Stooges movie but you are almost guaranteed to laugh.  The characters who play Larry, Moe, and Curly in the movie do a good job of staying close to the original characters yet I didn't find them nearly as annoying.  My teenage sons most enjoyed the movie and its slapstick adventures and I'll admit that I even liked it myself.

I received DVD for review.  The opinions within this post are of my own and I was not influenced in any way.  Please do your own research before purchasing products.  Your opinions and results may differ.

I feel the same way about the Three Stooges!! Never has been that funny to me but guy's seem to think them hysterical!! I am going to watch this movie this weekend though and I'm sure I'll get some laughs from it! Especially with those actors! :)

I thought the movie was very decent, even an improvement on the original Stooges in my opinion. I watched the show as a kid quite a bit because of limited choices on local TV during the day, but this was my kids who really loved this movie too! They started playing “Three Stooges” and made my wife and I crack up. I probably wouldn’t have seen it either if I had not put it on my queue for my Blockbuster @Home account. I didn’t watch it until a weekend later, but the kids really enjoyed it. I like that I can return my movie anytime I like and there aren’t any additional fees. Plus I don’t have to drive to a store or rental box since they come in the mail, saving time and gas.
