Sleeping in a bed without Troy and the dogs has given me a headache and also insomnia....so I have chosen to torture myself by watching bad Pay-Per-View movies in my hotel. Besides the misguided MIRROR MIRROR (see review below), I also watched THE THREE STOOGES. I thought it would be mindless fun. Well, it's mindless, numbingly so, but it's not fun and even worse, it's NOT funny. In fact, it's just awful. It didn't help my headache and certainly didn't put me to sleep. It's not even a fun disaster to watch. It's just purely a disaster. Chris Diamantopoulos, Sean Hayes, and Will Sasso play the famous trio and they do admirable work. The supporting cast including Jennifer Hudson, Jane Lynch, and especially Larry David add some spark where they can. But everyone is fighting an uphill battle with a terrible screenplay that makes the actual Stooges shorts look like they could be AFI Award Winners. I wasn't expecting a new comedy classic, but I was at least thinking that I would be entertained. Just wasn't the case. So glad I paid a minimal amount to see this mess rather than full price in a cinema. I find it hard to believe even diehard Stooges fans would enjoy this debacle.
