Therefore, there is a tonal tug of war between slapstick gags that you expect from this franchise and the earthier humour you find in other Farrelly Brothers movies.Want to behold the glory that is ' The Three Stooges' on your TV, phone, or tablet? Searching for a streaming service to buy, rent, download, or watch the Bobby Farrelly-directed movie via subscription can be tricky, so we here at Moviefone want to do the heavy lifting. The problem is that it seems out of place and doesn't fit well into the narrative. To cater to contemporary tastes there is a degree of cruder material and sexual under current to a lot of the humour. The depiction of the Catholic Church, nuns and orphanages is lazy and tired. However, the story that the actors have to hang their performance on, is weak, poorly paced and littered with asides that don't work. They have successfully captured the style, idiom and physical technique of the original trio and are very funny in themselves. That is not to say that the film is not without merits, but overall it fails to deliver in a manner that pleases all parties.įirst off let me make it clear that the casting of Sean Hayes, Will Sasso and Chris Diamantopoulos as Larry, Curly and Moe is spot on and their performances are exceptional. After finally having caught up with the movie, six years after its theatrical release, I am afraid all my initial fears have proven true and that The Three Stooges falls into all the traps I anticipated it would. However, as more information came out regarding the production and it became clear that the Farrelly Brothers are consummate fans of the source material, I began to revise my expectations. When the first trailer was released it seemed to highlight the major differences between the old school slapstick humour of the forties with the worldly adult style of present comedy movies.
I had mixed feelings about whether The Three Stooges could be successfully re-imagined and revitalised for a modern audience.
