Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Brideless Groom" is a black-and-white short film and just liked the other Stooges short movies, it runs for roughly 16 minutes. It is possibly the most famous Stooges short film that features Shemp and not Curly and, fittingly, Shemp also plays the main character here. He is bound to inherit a fortune, but only if he is married, so the other two Stooges try everything to make it happen. Shemp is not so amused, the eternal bachelor it seems. Just like most of the trio's other works, the humor is mainly based on chaos, but the good thing is that it's not really these stupid slightly violent jokes, but sometimes actually funny, like when the woman thinks that Larry is the groom. The cast and director/writer team are all people who appeared in many more Stooges (short) films. Never change a winning team, I guess. All in all, a decent watch without real greatness, but at least also without political references that were common not much earlier. The days of World War 2 were gone. Recommended.

Stanley Strangelove I've been a fan of the Three Stooges shorts since I was a kid and I've seen them all. The ones with Curly are usually the best but there are some with Shemp that are equally as good. Brideless Groom is a Stooge short with Shemp, not Curly, but it is every bit as good as anything with Curly; and I love Curly, don't get me wrong. The funniest scene has Shemp as a vocal teacher with a female student who is not only funny looking but has a terrible voice. Larry is a riot as the piano accompanist. I taped this segment and gave it to my singing teacher years ago and she was on the floor in hysterics. There is also a great scene in a phone booth with Shemp and Moe.Five nyuks for this one.

maxcellus46 OK, the other reviewers have pretty much covered the main points of this great little gem, i.e. the story started out in life as material for Buster Keaton's silent classic "7 Chances". Comedy, or acting in any genre for that much, is merely interpreting a scene and lines that someone else has written and performed before, if it's not a totally original creation. Here we have The Stooges essentially doing material that was written and performed by someone else and yet for a low budget, short time span of a film, they're handling things just fine. Regardless of what the credits say on their films, real "stooge-philes" know that they had a lot of input on lines and direction. They took their work as seriously as a surgeon does a vital operation. Words spoken by Emil Sitka himself during a documentary about the boys. Here, what appears to be their usual anarchy over something so simple as getting married, is actually organized chaos. Every line is perfectly timed with a related physical action. How many comedians are around today that can claim such mastery? Most obviously the Seinfeld crew but none others that I've seen in the last 35 years of watching TV. The critics will always "pooh pooh" The Stooges or Laurel & Hardy and others but then again...who ever remembers the critic's names or what they said? Simply watch, laugh and enjoy!

Snow Leopard After a slightly slow start, this Three Stooges comedy is pretty funny once it gets going. It offers Shemp's character much more of a focus than usual, and he does a good job with the material, joined of course by Moe and Larry plus a good supporting cast. It takes a plot idea best known from Buster Keaton's classic "Seven Chances", and takes it in a much different direction, putting the Stooges' timing and slapstick skills to good use.The story setup has Shemp inheriting a large fortune if he can get married on short notice. The opening scene with Shemp as a voice teacher is a little slow (though amusing at times), but it quickly hits high gear as the trio faces a series of ridiculous predicaments in trying to get Shemp a bride.Christine McIntyre has a good slapstick scene, Dee Green is not bad as a voice student, and Emil Sitka gets some good moments with his recurring line of dialogue as a justice of the peace. Overall, it's a good comedy that delivers what you hope for in a Three Stooges movie.
