This movie was absolutely terrible, after getting ten minutes into the film I had to hold myself back from walking to the ticket booth and getting my money back. The directors of this film disgraced Moe Larry and Curlys memories by making them out to be Special Needs.
As a kid growing up watching a lot of their shorts, specials and movies and seeing how they really were in the films that THEY THEMSELVES were in to seeing this is mindbogglingly insulting to their names. In 2000, Mel Gibson directed a movie based on their career as a comedy act and all the challenges and hardships that they faced, I saw this movie for the first time in 2011, being 21 years old watching a movie based on their career I thought it was an excellent movie and really showed their relationship with each other and the people that they were on and off the set and how they made it from small time comedy clubs to being under contract with Columbia Pictures where their career really took off. Gibsons film was not only educational and just as funny as their shorts with Columbia Pictures, but also very heartfelt and depressing when showing the end of the original Curly Joes comedy career and his passing followed by Shemps passing but along with their reunion performance at the end of the film and summary of the Longest Comedy Act in history coming to an end. Moe, Larry and Curly; along with Shemp even though he wasn't in the movie, WERE NOT special needs nor idiotic freaks that were a menace to society, yet a group of people with the gift of laughter to bring people joy by their amazing ability and gift to make people laugh, and this movie that has just been filmed and released to theaters deserves to be taken from all theaters around the world collected together and either locked away for eternity or destroyed leaving no evidence of its existence and all digital copies deleted/destroyed/terminated so that years and years from now in the future the world may begin to forget about this horrible film.
