Moe (Chris Diamantopoulos), Curly (Peter Sasso) and Larry (Sean Hayes) were literally tossed onto the doorstep of the local orphanage. Since no one would adopt them, the numbskulls have been the institution's permanent residents. They then learn that, partially because of them, the Orphanage will have to close down unless they can come up with $830,000.
Thus, the Stooges head off to the real world to find jobs. They get one when the scheming Lydia (Sofia Vergara) hires them to get rid of her wealthy husband. Since they're the Stooges, our heroes'll find a million ways to bungle it up and accidentally save the day.
The film gets its most points for its main stars' impersonation of the original trio. They sound, look and act just like Moe, Curly and Larry; so much so, that they really are characters on-screen and not actors playing characters on-screen. It is an impressive feet for the most unlikely of films in any year.
The film's biggest laughs come from its incredibly zany stunts and gags. Even if they could've killed someone several times over, the fact that the Stooges are live-action cartoons means that all their abuse is in good fun. And really, it is amazing to see just how cartoony things turn out. The only drawback was that a few jokes were too long and too lowbrow.
It's not as "mediocre" as the ads may have implied, but let's not imagine how it could've been worse. Presently, it's still a decent family fun time for any time of the day. But if you plan to use this to induct a new Stooge fan, please let them see an old short ASAP.
