Ok, well I watched this over the weekend for the first time in over 10 years (last time was when it was last aired on TV in the mid-90s - I think AMC, probably TBS or TNT though).. and now that I got a grasp on it I have to say how disappointing. The Stooges, in their only actual starring vehicle during the Curly era - and THAT'S what we get?? I actually, unlike most people here, like it when the Stooges play seperate roles.. but the fact that Moe already had his Besser-era slicked back hair and he wasn't really funny, well it just didn't do it for me.
The accountant cousin was annoying - especially bitching about that moose-head.. and those four guys were PATHETIC. They weren't funny, and honestly they were more annoying than anything.
I need to watch Time Out For Rhythm, Myrt and Marge, or some other GOOD ones to get this one out of my head. How disappointing, given the potential. I liked that Vernon Dent even had a bit part, but even he couldn't save it.
Larry and Curly made the movie though, that's for sure - and although this was during his sick-era, Curly still gave one hell of a performance.
Who else has seen this? I saw it's airing on TCM in March.. I'll DVR it anyway so I can get a better copy. Still..
