The Three Stooges (2012 film)

Have you watched The Three Stooges (2012 film)?
Did you enjoy the slapstick comedy?
The film has three acts, referred to as episodes (a reference to how the original Three Stooges short films were packaged for television by Columbia Pictures).

Act / Episode 1: More Orphan Than Not
35 years in the past, the children at the Sisters of Mercy Orphanage are playing soccer with an old soda can in the frontyard. Sister Mary-Mengele, the meanest and strictest nun in the orphanage, tells them to go inside and do their chores. They try singing "Everybody is Special", but she tells them to shut up and go work. Later, three destructive infants, Moe, Larry and Curly, are thrown in a duffel bag onto the orphanage's doorstep from an unknown person's car. The trio subsequently wreaks havoc in the place, terrifying the nuns—especially Sister Mary-Mengele, who has always hated them.

I haven't watched the movie, because I was pretty sure it would be awful.

I've watched loads and loads of old 'Three Stooges' shorts all through my life. I think they're great.

The vibe I got from the trailer was that the casting of the Stooges was excellent, but the writing of the film was miserable.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I haven't seen it but it doesn't seem too bad. I like Jim Carry in most stuff I've seen him in, he can probably carry (no pun intended) it alone.

^Jim Carrey wasn't in the movie. I hear he was originally slated to play Curly, but he dropped out (Will Sasso eventually got cast).
