A movie that shouldn't be made. Howard, Fine and Howard are spinning in their graves.

Not really. LOL. They would have been the first ones to tell the actors to take the money.

BOMBARD THE FARRELY BROTHERS! THE THREE STOOGES WERE GREAT AMERICANS WHO LAMPOONED HITLER! PENN’S FATHER LEO WAS A HITLER SUPPORTER!

Sean Penn as Larry.

Poor Larry Fine.

Mel Gibson would have been the perfect Moe, and he is in real life obsessed with the Stooges.

Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp,
To guard a title that was rich before,
To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
To throw a perfume on the violet,
To smooth the ice, or add another hue
Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light
To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish,
Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.

(Penn) hasn't done a comedy since the 1989 laffer "We're No Angels."

Could it be because he's an arrogant, unfunny, crashing bore?

Naaah.

I kind of doubt that. They replaced the third stooge whenever they needed to. There wasn’t much sentimentality on their part.

There was this interesting tidbit at Wikipedia:

In a 2004 New Yorker feature on the Farrelly Brothers’s attempt to write a script for a new Three Stooges movie, Peter Farrelly offered his theory of Stooge appreciation: “Growing up, first you watched Curly, then Moe, and then your eyes got to Larry. He’s the reactor, the most vulnerable. Five to fourteen, Curly; fourteen to twenty-one, Moe. Anyone out of college, if you’re not looking at Larry, you don’t have a good brain.”

I don’t get Carrey as Curley. My choice was Michael Chiklas, Vic Mackey on The Shield. He was on the radio in Boston a few months ago right before the final episode, and said he was speaking to the brothers about the project. Bid Stooges fan. Maybe Jim Carrey drops out.

The film is a complete waste of time and will flop.

There will always be only one set of Stooges and ya just cannot really improve on perfection.

Just like the Little Rascals movie and few years ago: look-a-like casting was OK, but the movie sucked and the kids just mouthed the lines.

The studio is zeroing in on Benicio Del Toro to play Moe.

The guy who just played Che, now playing Moe.

Moe is their leader.

Where can I get The Stooges complete collection on DVD? Not just the shorts - their movies, interviews, and uncut footage too. Even the cartoons too. I am a huge Stooge fan but here's who should have played the Stooges in a movie:

Robert De Niro = Moe
Woody Harrelson = Larry
Kevin James = Curly
Michael Richards = Shemp
Jack Black = Curly Joe

Barney Frank could fill in for Besser as "Stinky"
