[CHRISTIAN DIARIST]

The original 'Stooges' managed to be funny without mocking Catholicism or any other religious faith.

They do that to show how tolerant they are. Now if it was about Mohammad, well then .....

[ShadowAce]

Yup. As a non-Catholic, I will avoid this so-called “comedy.”

I went to see it this weekend and to the makers credit, they cut out MOST of Upton's swimsuit scenes.

As a Christian, I never thought of anything in the film as derogatory towards anyone.

Well, except for the Jersey Shore folks, but they needed mocked. That alone was worth the price of admission.

I WON’T be going to the theatre to see this movie. There are just some things that Hollyweird should NOT remake. The Three Stooges fall into that category.

I wonder how the original Stooges would have taken this new version, considering that they were all Jewish. A lot of the old vaudeville acts had Yiddish roots.

Here's the costume in question:

I saw the movie, and agree the scene wasn’t neccessary, but in the grand scheme of things it was literally a blip near the very end of the film. Really not sure why they went there other than for a cheap visual joke, that honestly wasn’t needed.

I as a Catholic am not overly offended by it, given how my religion is attacked daily on Free Republic by supposed fellow Christians, and given how Nuns were a large part of the film, overall the film wasn’t a blast at Catholicism, and they didn’t remotely take countless cheap shots that have been routine.

Generally Catholics can laugh at their faith in my experience. I do think the scene didn’t need to be there, and really didn’t offer much other than a quick cheap visual joke, but I didn’t feel the film was a huge smack against my religion.

I’m a big fan of The Three Stooges, and I feared the worst.

In fact, the movie wasn’t nearly as bad as I feared. There was no notable Catholic bashing. Upton was fine and there was nothing offensive about her bathing suit scene, as it was only one shot where she was lifeguarding a pool filled with swimming orphans.

The scene in the trailer was not in the finished film.

As for bashing 1% types, The Stooges often found themselves

Come on people... Aren't we over reacting a little? A Woman in a swim suit at the end of the movie is such a slap?
A movie about three dummies hitting, poking, insulting, kicking, and bulling each other and you get high and mighty about a Nun in a swim suit. That scene offends you? Hell I guess no one has ever seen the scene of a little girl and a cross in the Exorcist.

[McGruff]

Mocking the church are we boys?

[AloneInMass]

What, no pics?

[Pharmboy]

Awful...and I’m not Catholic. But, with the reviews it has received so far, I do not think too many people will see this trash.
