The Three Stooges In Orbit [HD]

It Has It's Moments . . .
Pretty much what you would expect from the crazy antics of The Three Stooges. Moe Howard and Larry Fine reprise their roles from the early Columbia short subject days. Joe DeRita takes over the third stooge part from cry baby Joe Besser, who, to put it bluntly, just plain sucked in that role.

DeRita at least *somewhat* resembles Moe's younger brother Jerry (who played "Curly" in the original short subjects from Columbia). Curly is and always will be most everyone's favorite stooge, earning the title "Super Stooge."

The Three Stooges in Orbit is entertaining but predictable. Of the full length "feature" movies Columbia released featuring the Stooges, all released in the early 1960's, only one was bad: STOP, LOOK AND LAUGH! just plain sucked.

I also have "The Three Stooges Meet Hercules" and "The Three Stooges Go Around The World in a Daze." The only one I regret buying is "Stop, Look and Laugh" which featured butchered bits of the original...

Surprisingly funny throughout....
This was a very funny film. I was a bit sceptical at first. I've never seen any of the Stooges' feature length films, and I've never seen anything with Curly Joe. So when I saw this, I found it to be consistently funny throughout and never boring. While Curly Joe is no Curly or Shemp, he's better than Joe, and he has many fine moments spread throughout the film. The film works very well. The alien makeup is campy and very funny (deliberately so), there are some really good one liners, a great pie "fight", some funny use of stock footage, and a great moment when Moe "discovers" the Martians' plans for invading Earth. The Martians are also kind of funny in their "banter". If you like the Stooges, you'll like this movie. Even if you don't, you should be able to find something worthwhile here.

Great Movie
I HIGHLY recommend this movie it was GREAT! The quality was terrific and it was reasonably priced. The only thing I was dissappointed about was that it didn't have special features. But that's not a big deal. But other than that it was awsome!
