    Storyline

    Edit

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In the film, Moe is in charge of the seed money. In reality, Moe Howard kept track of all of The Three Stooges' finances--Larry Fine liked to play the horses and Curly Howard would spend much of his money on women. So Moe made sure that some of their money was invested for when their careers ended. Moe himself retired a wealthy man.
    • Goofs
      When Larry and Curly reunite with Moe on the Jersey Shore set, the producer who got Moe on the show is surprised to see there are three of them, conveniently forgetting he was watching all three together on stage before Larry and Curly walked off and he gave Moe the part.
    • Quotes

      Lydia: Those three idiots are here!

      Mac: [looking around] The Kardashian girls? Where are they?

    • Crazy credits
      Right before the end credits, 2 actors posing as the Farrelly Brothers appear on screen to deliver a "Don't Try This At Home" announcement. Also, towards the end of the closing credits, there is a music video featuring The Three Stooges and 'Jennifer Hudson'.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK theatrical version was cut for a PG rating, to remove the following imitable techniques:
      • A vegetable peeler used on a man's head.
      • A cheese grater used on a man's foot.
      • Hair tongs used on a woman's tongue.
      • A man's head being shoved into a microwave.
      • A verbal reference to playing with matches.
      The uncut version was rated 12 on video.

    It was ok but liked it for other reasons.
    Sorry but this is a self-indulgent review but I felt compelled. I saw this movie with my daughter when she was young. Left the theater thinking the movie was so-so, but my daughter liked it. For some reason the event is a memory for me as one of the last movies I went to with her as a "kids" movie. I am writing this more as sharing a few movies in my life have been associated with events rather than the movie itself. I think I have about 5 movies in my life that fall into this category.

    In 2021 with the movie industry distribution system, ie going to movie theaters, is in a state of flux and going with your kids to a weekend movie at the theater may disappear. I believe when you go somewhere a memory can be firmer over time. So if taking the kids to the movie theater is going to disappear there's some downside to it. However when our family of 4 goes/went when all is said and done it's close to $80. If my kids were still young I know for this reason alone we would go to the the theater, vs streaming, a lot less.
