The Three Stooges: 2012 film

You read it right. The Three Stooges are set to come back in the summer, beefed up for a new audience. I thought I'd share my views on the trailer and provide a bit more information about the film.

Directors: Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly

Stars: Sean Hayes, Chris Diamantopoulos and Will Sasso

Plot: From what I've seen of the film so far the story revolves around an orphanage which is about to be closed down. Our three favourite stooges set out to prevent this from happening and in the process wind up being involved in a murder plot. It all sounds a bit daft and at first I wasn't too impressed with the idea of a modern age stooges film but a couple of things managed to sway my decision.

1) I liked the trailer. The actors play their parts well and the humour is suitably amped up for the modern age.

2) The film comes from the Farrelly brothers, the guys who created such gross out comedies as Dumb and Dumber and Me, Myself and Irene. For this reason alone you know that there will be an element of quality behind it.

It's from the Farrelly brothers: The Farrelly's are behind some great comedies and their unique sense if humour should lend itself well to this update of a well loved classic.

The actors play their parts well: Judging from the trailer it looks like Hayes, Diamantopoulos Sasso play their parts well. It's almost like the Three Stooges are alive and well.

Humour: This film might not appeal to die hard Stooges fans. The Farrelly brother's are renowned for their gross sense of humour and there is a chance that this might not transfer well to a stooges film.

Same old story: There is nothing original plot wise with this film but to be fair the story won't be the selling point of this film. It's all about the humor.

That's enough talk. Have a look at the trailer and see what you think.
