So I actually went to see The Three Stooges this past weekend and I believe it is a perfect candidate for a 'Half-Good' feature. You can almost draw a line between the two distinct parts, the old school slapstick (which still works) and the new school pee jokes and pop culture references (which never worked).
@Moviemaniac: That's funny, the theater I was in was absolutely silent during those parts, yet cracking up at the throwback slapstick. (full disclaimer: I went on sunday morning with a crowd skewing a bit older) Personally I thought the best part was the doughnut remover scene and them attempting to wake her up afterwards, I was in stitches ^_^

My audience reacted the same way. I didn't (and nobody else did) laugh at the Kardashian joke or any of the scenes featuring the Jersey Shore crew. However when it came to the doughnut remover scene, everyone in the audience was cracking up. That was my favorite gag in the film and one of my favorites from the original stooge shorts. That said I thought the film was pretty unfunny and could have been done so much better.I t should have been a B&W period piece set in the '30s.

Trailer: The Three Stooges
This was originally supposed to have Benecio del Toro, Sean Penn, and Jim Carrey. Instead, we have three people you've never heard of doing gag routines that were stale in the 40's. Who thought this was a good idea? |
