Plot:
Larry (Hayes), Curly (Sasso) and Moe (Diamantopolous), now adults, still reside at a small town orphanage ran by nuns that has housed them since they were left on the door step since being infants, still with hopes of being adopted. Well when the orphanage is scheduled to close within 30 days due to a lack of funds to maintain operation, the misfit trio set out on an adventure of their lifetime to try and raise the necessary monies to save their home. Dim witted and clueless they are soon engulfed by the fast pace of the big city, becoming involved in a murder for hire scheme that they botch and eventually must take any odd job to still try to attain the much needed funds.
Reel Talk:
Remakes and time period makeovers scare me because if it’s not done right, the original becomes demeaned and/or tainted. So upon my entering the advance screening for this movie, there was a huge question mark! Surprisingly this was a good movie. The Farrelly brothers did a good job in recreating the slapstick antics of the original Three Stooges with the new cast members. There were even moments for me when I could see flashbacks of the original stooges within their protégés. Even still some of the funnier scenes are with Larry David in drag as a scouring and bitter nun. Don’t go to see this movie with high expectations, but rather with intentions of just laughing from the hilarious stupidity provided by the threesome. Very funny and very entertaining film worth checking out at your convenience, not a must see.
