Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

JoeKarlosi One of the more readily accessible Three Stooges comedies over the decades, as it was one of a bunch that fell into the public domain during those years of the home video revolution. It's also a good, solid offering, with Moe, Larry and Curly in the roles of offbeat musicians who just happen to be the main witnesses in a murder case. Seeing them tweak the judicial system in a courtroom was just the latest of their unlikely settings where they would start to turn things upside down. Some good moments here and there to be sure, probably the standout being Curly taking the stand and trying to place his hand on a bible while repeatedly being asked by the judge to remove his derby! *** out of ****

spiderguy_07 This is by far, the worst stooge short ever filmed. The plot was terrible, and they did not move from that courthouse. Curly does OK, but his little lines to the judge are kind of dumb. Curly: "He's talking Pig-Latin, I don't know what he's saying!" Man: "He's asking you if you swear..." Curly: "No, but I know all the words!" The Stooges are witnesses in the case of the killing of Kirk Robin. A man named Buck Wing is the culprit (found out at the end). Moe and Larry sit in the crowd while Curly is questioned about the murder. Curly misunderstands, chews gum, and falls out of the witness chair. These are really the only funny parts of this stooge short.I love The 3 Stooges to death, but this is the worst short they ever made. I'm just glad that they made up for this one. Shorts like - Three Little Pigskins, Ants In The Pantry, Three Little Twerps, Three Loan Wolves, and Gents In A Jam - made up for this poor performance.

slymusic "Disorder in the Court" is a fantastic and well-named Three Stooges comedy. The setting is a courtroom, where Curly, Larry, and Moe all get a chance to go absolutely berserk. Never mind the plot; just enjoy watching the Stooges cause all kinds of havoc! Here are the highlights from this fine film (DON'T read any further until after you have seen it). The boys perform a fine musical interlude (Larry on violin, conductor Moe on harmonica, and Curly on spoons and double bass), with Larry wrestling with a "tarrantula" on his violin bow. The defense attorney (Bud Jamison) leaves the courtroom to find the Stooges out in the hallway playing jacks and disagreeing over onesies, twosies, and fivesies. Larry lets out a Tarzan yell (apparently for no reason) after he snatches the wad of gum off of Moe's nose. Curly tries to knock out the parrot with a mallet but instead knocks out each member of the jury one by one. And finally, "Take off your hat. Raise your right hand. Now put your left hand here. Take off your hat. Raise your right hand," etc."Disorder in the Court" is undoubtedly a classic Three Stooges film, and one of the reasons why is because of its public domain status; all of the TV specials about the Stooges are full of clips from this short. To put it very simply, "Disorder in the Court" is a must-see for every Three Stooges fan.

shokenjii Even with periods of dementia and depression, my 88-year old mother remains discriminating about which videos merit both her close attention and her laughter. Family members try to select compatible, bright-spirited films for Mom (from family situations, animal stories, musicals, comedies, and international intrigue), while weeding out offensive sex and violence. An area of trial and error has been Slapstick Comedy, which produced mixed and sometimes disappointing results -- all pies in all faces are not slam-dunk belly laughs -- or even condescending smiles. Complex, sophisticated, or subtle humor may be difficult for Mom to process at this stage in life.Initially, she did not respond well to recent viewings of The Three Stooges -- in a lucid state, her more traditional values carry over. With earlier cultural and social restraints prevailing, she remembers the guys as silly goofs. But in current showings, she laughs openly - sometimes to a point of tears - at the zany antics of Moe, Larry, and Curly (only "Home Alone (1990)," brings out as much unrestrained laughter). It could be inferred that, when dementia erodes Mom's inhibitions of long standing, she is more relaxed and laughs easier (or, maybe she has developed a liking for The Three Stooges). Hopefully this simplistic discussion is neither insensitive nor disrepectful in suggesting that any form of happiness - free of tensions and uncertainties - is preferable to debilitating depression.We have purchased several Three Stooges full-length and short feature DVDs, together with other slapstick comedies. "The Three Stooges Go Around The World In A Daze (1963)," a full-length parody of Jules Verne's book / Michael Todd's film, "Around The World In Eighty Days" scores high on my mother's laugh-meter; but her favorite is "Disorder In The Court (1936)," a short feature film, with Moe, Larry, and Curly at their classic best -- memorable routines of a comedy form that can only be described as, "Dear God, please don't ever let me see my children behave like that in public."Aging is a one-way journey, often difficult; and taking The Three Stooges along with you will make it a much looser and happier ride. A slap, poke, gouge, kick, or scream from Moe, Larry, and Curly can't be all bad -- can it?
