BrianSez's Review

Summary - Good 3.0

Rating TTS was tough, mostly because I was never a huge Stooges fan. I think that if I were, the rating would be a ‘Really Great’ – because I totally recognize the raw talent that had to go in to duplicating the masters. And duplicate they did. Nearly perfectly. So, for all you Nyuk, Nyuk fans out there – you will come away very pleased. Trust me.

Acting - Perfect 5.0

Seriously, these guys had Larry, Mo, and Curly down to a T. No, not every acting job was perfect, but I was in awe of how well the three did the shtick. Sean Hayes of Will and Grace fame (Larry), Will Sasso (Curly), and Chris Diamantopoulos (Moe) were a hoot! If I had to pick a favorite, it would have to be Chris – who just like in the originals led the pack and showed the most range. I understand that it took several weeks of training to get this type of slapstick down pat.

Not perfect, but good: Jane Lynch (Glee) was a great pick for mother superior, but Larry David had me in stitches as Sister Mary-Mengele (“What is this, a musical?”). Jennifer Hudson might have well been invisible, and Sofía Vergara is way funnier in Modern Family, and just an ’eh job from Stephen Collins.

Film - Good 3.0

Same applies to this rating as my summary. I think a true stooges fan would put this in the really great range, because it was an absolute homage and tribute to the original. I ding it a little because there was nothing added that made it special enough to carry the brand forward,

Edge - Tame 1.1

Lots of knocking, hitting, falling, etc. – but tame nonetheless

Reality - Supernatural 3.8

  “For all you Nyuk, Nyuk fans out there – you will come away very pleased.” That would be me. Love the Stooges.
