The plot of the film centers around the titular Stooges growing up in an orphanage never being adopted only to eventually, as adults, be tasked with saving the very same orphanage from financial ruin. The main cast and effects are usually where praise for this movie ends unfortunately, that's for good reason. Whenever the film takes time to make this the focus, it can be a delight, with even its parodies of outdated practical effects techniques (such as using obvious dolls as stunt doubles) garnering some laughs. Watching the 2012 Stooges bounce off of each other trading pokes, jabs, slaps, and name-calling is nearly as fun as the originals made it look. While no one will be able to wear these roles more appropriately than the original Stooges, the attempt made here is clearly one as calculated as it is inspired. Capturing the mannerisms, vocal tone, speed and looks of the original trio extremely well, it's clear to see where the biggest strength of the movie lies, and thankfully it's exactly where it should.

Whatever critiques may justifiably be lobbed at this film, it would be a hard sell to convince others that the actors did not do an excellent job portraying The Three Stooges. Related: The Three Stooges: How The Comedy Trio's Stunts Caused Real-Life Injury
