Leave your thoughts about The Three Stooges.
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettFor fans, the Farrelly bros. take fits the bill. By all means go see it and take an immature friend or a kid at heart. |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonNot too heavy on the nyuks but a bit light on sustained yuks. As with the originals-devoid of character depth, social satire, or other subtext-there's not enough slap behind the schtick. Heartfelt humour-homage that ends up more like korny komic karaoke. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanAll three of the leads get very close to the Stooges' old looks and personalities, but they do more than impersonate; they inhabit. |
| The New York TimesManohla DargisPeter and Bobby Farrelly's thoroughly enjoyable paean to Moe, Larry and Curly and the art of the eye poke. |
| NECNErick WeberIt's absurd, it's mindless, it's infantine but it's also bizarrely charming. |
| Movie City NewsDavid PolandAnyone who pans this film needs the stick taken out of their butt. Nyuk Nyuk. |
| E! OnlineLeslie GornsteinThe guys anchoring the latest iteration of The Three Stooges make every bark and eye-poke look like second nature. |
| CNNRadioPaul ChambersExcellent casting. Poor writing. Poor execution. That's the unfortunate truth about "The Three Stooges." |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA misguided homage that mistakes clutter for comedy. |
| TheWrapAlonso DuraldeGet ready for something more shocking than a poke in the eye: The Three Stooges is genuinely funny, a no-holds-barred, smart-stupid comedy that (at the screening I attended, anyway) will win over Stooge-philes and non-believers alike. |
