It looks a whole lot funnier than I thought it would. Yes, there are plenty of films that that statement could pertain to (more so in the other direction, however), but in this particular instance I’m referring to the trailer for 20th Century Fox’s The Three Stooges. To be honest though, it doesn’t look like the Farrelly brothers did much to the lovable buffoons other than transport them to our century. I suppose they didn’t need to, seeing Larry, Moe and Curly doing the same shtick they did damn near 80 years ago — eye pokes, head bonks and face slaps — is just as stupidly funny now as it was then. I only hope they make good use of Snooki and the other “Jersey Shore” stooges . . .
The Three Stooges stars Chris Diamantopoulos, Will Sasso, Sean Hayes, Sofia Vergara, Jane Lynch, Larry David and Stephen Collins.
The Three Stooges nyuk nyuk nyuks US theaters on April 13, 2012 and UK theaters on June 15, 2012.

The Cohen brothers have squatted another stinker. This doesn’t look funny at all.

I don’t know – for some reason I was expecting more than eye pokes.

The Three Stooges are still a staple of my weekends. I’m looking forward to this.

Please tell me the movie is going to be something other than an elongated tv episode.
