'The Three Stooges' Remake Is Out in Theaters: Will It Live Up to the Classic?

I hate, hate remakes of anything, especially music!!

This is a new story. There was no original Three Stooges movie (not even the Norman Maurer films with Joe De Rita). Nor does this look anything like the ego-driven travesties we've come to expect this last decade, with projects like Starsky & Hutch or 21 Jump Street that bear no resemblance to the works they ostensibly reprise.

Hmmm Prince has some remakes by artist out the that are actually better than what he has put out and I am a prince fan

Me and my brothers are working on a remake of this number. We're 20 years older, melanin-challenged, and we can't sing or dance. BUT WE'VE GOT heart...issues:)

Nobody today could ever live up to the original stooges.

I loved The 3 Stooges...no one can ever imitate them...they were artists.

No way. I have seen when they try to re-create classic characters before- it never works- and the shtick will not fit the times. Remember how hideous the little Rascals remake was?

There was only one Curly

I doubt it. Hollyweird remakes leave a lot to be desired.

Someone should give a sound beating to all the folks who have been crapping all over nostalgic properties the last decade or so. But this is not the same people, it's the Farrellys. They have proven they know funny, and done work in the same vein as the Stooges -- without relying on familiar names to get themselves over.

I hope Stooges fans won't be so discouraged by all the crap that's come down from Hollywood that they don't give this a chance.

it hasn't so far!

Classic Stooges cannot be duplicated or brought up-to-date...

you can NEVER live up to an original ANYTHING- but it looks like they will do a good job trying.... I LOVE the Stooges....

Just like everything else, they will throw in some dick and fart jokes and ruin it. That POS movie, The Little Rascals, was the same way.

You might be right about the fart jokes or something, I don't know. The Farrellys did not make the Little Rascals movie, though, or anything of the sort. They made Dumb & Dumber, Shallow Hal, Kingpin, and Me, Myself and Irene. So, yeah, they are not above being crude, but they know funny and they legitimately dig classic physical comedy.

Well, I may give it a whirl when it is available for rent.

Judging by the trailer I saw last week which lasted all of about three minutes, but was hysterical, I would have to say yea and can't wait to see it.

My sons and I saw the movie today; I've been watching The Stooges for for over 40 years.My Sons have been watching The Stooges since they were children. We are Stooge fans. We think they did a great job. Being a fan you can recall episodes they used and how they were reenacted. Will Sasso did a fantastic Curly.

Snooki is in this film, that means it's already ruined! :O

maybe if it's violent enough - but most kids today would hardly know about the three stooges.

I think it was made for us geezeers!

will wait until its at the video shop

I hate when people re-make classics- They're classics! leave them be. >:(

I suppose re-making classics is easier than coming up with an original idea.

The Farellys have proven they can do original concepts. They are not just trying to get themselves over by crapping on something nostalgic like all the idiots who have been making remakes and reprisals for the last decade or two. It's a shame that they still have to overcome the low expectations instilled by that kind of garbage, even though they have never been part of it.

No. It may be fun to watch, I don't know, but it could never be anywhere near as good as the boys ever where on their WORST day!

i watched this show when i was a kid alot its a classic for me that i dont think will ever be replaced by remakes

Absolutely NOT at all ..

Begs the question .. WHY even attempt this in the first place .. obviously .. Hollywood has nothing to offer at all anymore .. time to put it out of business.

I thought it was perfect timing.When The Stooges first came out in the 30s, It was during the Great Depression & WW II. Tough times for America; The Stooges brought a smile to people's faces during a difficult period of American History. Like Now

Poor timing indeed .. this is nothing more than trying to bootstrap off the success of the classics .. nothing more ..
Time for Hollywood to get what it deserves .. to go out of business ..
Because they've proven over and over again .. during the past decade/plus ..
That there's absolutely nothing original in their efforts ..
and Flash/Bang, CGI, Noise .. can NOT cover for a complete LACK of talent in the so-called /acting/ crowd ..

My sons and I were just talking and everything we learned we read or someone told us. No one can replace them. AMC has been playing the Stooges at 11PM Pacific. They have had a few episodes we haven't seen. It's HD too. The Stooges were or the producers; we noticed all the their clothes were ironed and clean. I seen Moe in an episode wearing a pinstripe suit. Pants had creases and taylored.

THAT is just part of the REASON Why they were such geniuses .. they not only acted well .. but the care with which they presented their characters showed in every way ..
No 'whiz-bang' .. no CGI .. no canned noise .. just SHEER TALENT .. and a true desire to show professionalism in their works ..

& G rated

Exactly .. we don't need to be OFFENDED to find things .. HILARIOUS .. Funny .. Entertaining ..
AH .. if only Hollywood of today would learn that lesson ..

I agree

The Farellys have proven they can do original concepts. They are not just trying to get themselves over by crapping on something nostalgic like all the idiots who have been making remakes and reprisals for the last decade or two. It's a shame that they still have to overcome the low expectations instilled by that kind of garbage, even though they have never been part of it.

If you actually like the Stooges kind of humour, and can get over any misguided loyalty to performers who can't be resurrected any other way, you may be pleasantly surprised by this one.

If you just hate the original Stooges. Well, you are not alone. But you probably don't care for anything the Farrelly brothers have done either, right?

Heard the quips from the advertisement .. it does absolutely nothing at all ..
Farellys -- like so many in the hollywood crowd nowadays .. can't even come close to being faint shadows of the greats of old ..
their timing is off .. the acting is not even worthy of being on film ..
The originals .. have and always will be masters of this form of comedic efforts ..

I'm from Chicago, when there an advertisement for Stooge festivals, you better go early. We be there five or six hours; everyone was laughing and there wasn't an empty seat in the theater

So glad to see such a following for such talented individuals who really were committed to their ART .. they exuded their talent .. their pride in their Craft .. each time they went out to perform (and not a bit of it canned or CGI)

I haven't looked into the credits on IMDB, but I know Mel Gibson has wanted to do a Stooges flick for a LOOOOONG time.
Remember the bit from Lethal Weapon when he shot the aquarium?
He's a Stooges fan.

I know there's many fans of the Original Stooges .. they definitely were talented performers that took a Professional Pride in their craft ..
