![]() ![]() ”Oh, tweet us to dinner? Soitenly!” Bits like that do more than revive the Stooges’ idiocy - they give it flava.Īnd so do the actors. ”I’ll tweet you,” says someone to Curly a little later on. ”I am!” says Curly, holding an onion and a vegetable peeler, ”I’m smothering him in onions!” ””Ehhh,” growls Moe, ”good thinking, Emeril!” as he takes the peeler and applies it to Curly’s skull. ”I thought I told you to smother him!” barks Moe at Curly, standing near the man in a hospital bed who they’ve signed on to kill. (They think they’re getting $830,000 for the job and plan to use the money to save their old orphanage.) The contemporary setting turns out to work incredibly well, because it lends a fresh, hip vitality to the Stooges’ violence. The Farrellys have taken the bowl-cut ringleader Moe (Chris Diamantopoulos), the Bozo-haired sad sack Larry (Sean Hayes), and the light-on-his-toes oaf Curly (Will Sasso) and plunked them down in 21st-century America, where a babe (Sofia Vergara) and her boyfriend (Craig Bierko) lure them into a plot to murder the babe’s husband (Kirby Heyborne). But once the Stooges grow up and go out into the world, the movie starts to jell in a fluky, original way.
