    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    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

      Moe: Mind your P's and Q's.

      Curly: Don't forget to dot the I's.

      Moe: Certainly.

      [Moe pokes Curly in the eyes]

    • 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.

    The Three Stooges Are Awesomely Funny!
    This wonderful feature-length adaptation of the stupidly funny Stooges includes colorful visuals, hilarious humor, and is quite kid-friendly! In this film, Moe, Larry, and Curly grew up in an Christian orphanage, but then the orphanage has to be demolished. They wouldn't tolerate it, so they go off on a journey to make some money to save their home. Great movie! Full of good laughs, endearing joy, and a heart of innocent stupidity from the Stooges! I also think that the actors who played the comedic trio did a really authentic job of portraying them. I can't wait until it comes out on DVD! It'll be awesome to watch at home! I give this an 8 out of 10 score! Again, great movie!
