Reviews & comments
The Washington Post
pressSo why bother with this earnest but imperfect impersonation when the original artists are readily available on VHS and DVD?
The New York Times
pressPeter and Bobby Farrelly's thoroughly enjoyable paean to Moe, Larry and Curly and the art of the eye poke.
Rolling Stone
pressThe Stooges were always better in short doses. And 90 minutes of PG nyuk-nyuk-nyuk can seem like an eternity.
Roger Ebert
pressI didn't laugh much. I don't think the Stooges are funny, although perhaps I might once have. Some of the sight gags were clever, but meh. The three leads did an admirable job of impersonation. I think this might be pretty much the movie Stooges fans were looking for.
New York Daily News
pressThere's just some great imitations of what remains an acquired taste.
Los Angeles Times
pressThere is an appealing nyuk, nyuk nostalgic spirit to"The Three Stooges."
Hollywood Reporter
pressA funny, good-hearted resuscitation of Hollywood's beloved lowbrow lunkheads.

pressThe Three Stooges isn't very funny, but it is, like last year's far superior The Muppets, a sincere act of fandom on an epic scale.
I must admit, pure comedy isn't usually my thing. I didn't really know what to expect from this film - and I was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be better than I imagined! The thing about this film is that it's actually more than just straight comedy, it has a story which gave me warm fuzzies by the end. And yes, some of the comedy is silly, but...
A lot of negative "official" reviews some saying this wasn't funny. Sorry but I'd have to disagree. I liked this movie as it was suitable for kids ( PG rating ) but also had AO humour that went way over kids heads and wouldnt have even been noticed by them. A good way to spend an afternoon :)
