to paraphrase the previous reviewer comment and if youre a stooge fan and avoid this one at all cost . my basic question be and be the experienced trooper of comedy that moe and larry be and why do they insist on attempt to continue the act when it be so obvious that their home studio and columbia and be so clearly not interested in give them serious writer and veteran comedy director . this movie play like someone who give a pale imitation of the trio and you can see how very hard moe and larry be work to make every little bit of slapstick relevant . joe de rita and despite his background in vaudeville be just not up to the job a a replacement for curly and shemp and or even joe besser . if that who moe and larry have leave to pick from and they should have just close up shop and enjoy their retirement year . leave u fan with good memory of far good film they have do earlier . always leave them laugh be the motto for comedy and always quit while youre on top . hence seinfeld leave the sitcom while right up there and instead of stick around for the inevitable decline .
