While trying to save their childhood orphanage, Moe, Larry, and Curly inadvertently stumble into a murder plot and wind up starring in a reality TV show. This is a reboot of the legendary comic trio with ‘Will & Grace’s Sean Hayes playing Larry, ‘Mad TV’s Will Sasso as Curly and the barely-known Diamantopoulos as Moe. This is a passion project for the directors of ‘Dumb & Dumber’ and it’s certainly made with a lot of love and attention to detail. In fact it’s a very good ‘Three Stooges’ movie. The problem is it looks very dated in 2012. See it if you have any affection for the original series or have a particular thing for old-school slapstick. If you’ve never watched a ‘Three Stooges’ then avoid it because you’ll probably hate it. [Critics: 52%] [Public: 5.1] – Mediocre
