The Three Stooges (2012) is a comedy film that brings back the iconic slapstick trio of Moe, Larry, and Curly. Set in the present day, the film follows the Stooges as they find themselves in the midst of a chaotic situation, despite being from a bygone era of humor. The story begins with the trio growing up in an orphanage, where they cause mayhem with their mischievous antics. After being separated for years, they are reunited as adults when the orphanage faces financial ruin.
To save the orphanage from being shut down, the Stooges embark on an unlikely adventure. They get involved in a convoluted plot involving a murder mystery, a rich woman named Lydia, and a series of slapstick antics. The trio must also prevent the villainous plot to steal money from the orphanage, all while remaining blissfully unaware of the complexity of the situation.
The film is full of physical comedy, slapstick humor, and the Stooges’ signature style of absurd antics, including pie-in-the-face gags, eye pokes, and nonsensical behavior. Their lack of awareness and simple-mindedness contrasts with the bizarre world around them, making their journey both hilarious and heartwarming. Through their chaotic adventure, the Stooges manage to save the day in their own unique way, showing that friendship, loyalty, and a little bit of mischief can go a long way.
The Three Stooges is a fun-filled homage to the original 1930s series, filled with modern-day humor while maintaining the timeless, goofy charm of the classic trio.
