A rather heart warming Three Stooges film. Especially the delightful ending where the baby stands on his head to make his mother stop crying like Shemp had been doing for him. Another look at a softer side of the Three Stooges. Not to mention some great comedy as well. I think there was one scene I didn't care for, but the rest was excellent.
