The Three Stooges

Well.

Howard, Fine and Howard are spinning in their graves.

Oh. Oh I see.

There is one good thing about this movie though: Will Sasso as Curly is perfect casting. He has the look down and he also has the voice and mannerisms.

The fact alone that someone thought it was a good idea to use the cast of Jersey Shore in the movie just reeks of Executive Meddling.

Reportedly, the scene was part of reshoots. It wasn't in The Farrelly Brothers' script but Fox wanted teen appeal.

Don't be surprised if the scene ends up taking place during the credits though.

According to Wikipedia, the movie will be divided into half-hour shorts, each one having a standalone story, which was probably in the Farrelly's plan, and then the studio forced a 4th segment with the Jersey Shore cast. I get the feeling this may result in a Writer Revolt.

Well this...this...yeah no.

I think I may need to kill my friends now, since all of them say this looks good.

It's four shorts so it might not be so bad.

And even if it is, it will still give John Debney a lot of material for the score so that should give us something to look forward to.

If IM Db and Wikipedia is correct, the Jersey Shore schmucks are just a cameo, appearing in all of one scene.

The four shorts idea sounds like a good idea, so my initial caution is a bit placated.

Actually, I should say that there are Three Shorts, with the possibility of a fourth with that cast of the reality show that shall not be named.

I'll call them four shorts and then Discontinuity the last one after I actually see if it's good or bad, I think.

Only thing that's funny about this is the sounds of the Stooges rolling in their graves. WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP NYUK NYUK NYUK

Seeing Snooki get hurt in the eye really made my day but I still find it idiotic to put the Jersey Shore cast in there.

On one hand the main cast seems to work for me and seeing Larry David as a nun is hilarious.

The trailer seems pretty good. Sure Shoehorning jersey shore is dumb but at least snooki will get hurt. really aside from jersey shore its pretty ok. (the farrelly brothers better not fuck this up.) Also EVERYBODY'S GETTING HURT!

Back in the 1980's, Larry David was on a show called Fridays and there was a recurring sketch where plays Larry plays Larry Howard as a stoner. It's actually pretty funny.

Wow, the guy playing Curly is dead on.

I expect Sasso to be the only thing that get raves from everyone. Similar to Justin Timberlake in Yogi Bear.

Had me hopeful until the Groin Attack. I'd like to see one, just ONE goofy comedy without one.

Can't really complain about the casting, though.

Apparently, Billy West was involved as a voice coach, to get the new actors's performances right.

While I can understand not wanting to see yet another Groin Attack, isn't wishing for a Groin Attack-less Three Stooges sort of missing the point?

Exactly. You can't have the legends of physical comedy not do one.

Not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I will admit I laughed at the Iphone gag. If the Jersey shore cameo is just added in thanks to Executive Meddling, wouldn't that be mentioned in the DVD commentary of this film?

Sometimes they don't even allow that kind of dirt to be brought up on commentaries.
