The original Stooges were a vaudeville act whose physical shtick was characterized by aggressive but finely choreographed kicks, punches, snaps and falls, and they’re back. The Stooges, Larry (Sean Hayes), Moe (Chris Diamantopoulos), and Curly (Will Sasso), abandoned at birth at a Catholic orphanage, must now save the place from being closed in an economic turndown. They need $830,000 to save the kids and the nuns. The plot gets overcomplicated when a gorgeous rich woman (Sofia Vergara), offers to pay the Stooges what they need to off her nerd husband, so she can run off with his best friend (Craig Bierko).

Jaime N. Christley, of Slant Magazine, says, “the Farrelly brothers’ direction is downright classical, with clean lines and an old-Hollywood respect for professional-grade composition and longish takes, leaving plenty of room for some well-executed routines of bloodless combat.”

The Three Stooges will be released on April 13, 2012.
