Like most people who going to movies on a regular basis I'm familiar with the original Three Stooges if only from the 'Saturday Morning' kids programmes of my childhood. They were recycling Three Stooges shorts made years earlier and they were reasonably funny as far as slapstick goes. The movie seems to be a faithful and loving recreation of the group. The lookalikes are not going to fool any real aficianados but they ARE lookalikes as well as behavealikes so that the idiosyncrasies of all three are captured faithfully. You don't, of course, expect much in the way of plot but perversely the producers have thrown one in which sees the trio attempting to raise, against ridiculous not to say astronomical odds, $300,000 to save the orphanage in which they were raised. What can I tell you, they perform their schtick; if you're susceptibly you'll laugh; if not, you've wasted ninety minutes.
