Fine Art of Boxing, The (No Stooge in the Ring)
Biographical dramatization of the career of The Three Stooges, from the early days with Ted Healy to their 1958 resurgence after the release of their comedies to television.
Over-dramatizing, exaggeration, presenting several myths as truth, a general loose interpretation of factual events, an overabundance of Executive Producers (a couple with personal agendas)... all combined to turn this intended tribute into a huge disappointment.
Martin Csokas ('Ted Healy') is a popular leading man in Australian and European films, yet familiar to many Americans for the three LORD OF THE RINGS films, and costarring in THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 (2014).
Paul Ben-Victor ('Moe') is one of the busiest supporting actors, with big-budget films (e.g., DAREDEVIL) to his credit, as well as costarring and recurring roles on the TV series THE WIRE, EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS, ENTOURAGE and IN PLAIN SIGHT.
Evan Handler ('Larry') is known for costarring on SEX AND THE CITY and CALIFORNICATION, and recurring roles on the dramas LOST and THE WEST WING.
Michael Chiklis ('Curly') is an Emmy winner for his cable series THE SHIELD, past Emmy nominee for his ABC series THE COMMISH, and starred in Fox's FANTASTIC FOUR films as 'Ben Grimm, the Thing.'
John Kassir ('Shemp') is a past winner of Ed McMahon's STAR SEARCH, and a well-regarded animation voice artist (HBO's TALES FROM THE CRYPT) and character actor. John's participation in this film was the topic of an interview in The Three Stooges Journal # 109 (Spring 2004).
