The Three Stooges (film)

The Three Stooges is an American slapstick comedy film based of the film shorts starring the comedy trio of the same name. The film is a stand-alone sequel/reboot to the 2012 film of the same name, with Chris Diamantopoilos, Sean Hayes and Will Sasso reprising their roles as the eponymous characters played by Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly Howard respectively.

Unlike the previous film, the story sets the stooges in a 1930s/1940's setting and features a much more disjointed plot.

Plot
Brothers Moe and Curly Howard, along with Larry Fine, work as "stooges" under the employ of abusive vaudeville star, Redd Jones. Their job is to cheer for him in the crowd to make him look good. Having become fed up with their incompetence, Redd plots to have them killed by having them perform a song on stage and have a sand bag fall from the rafters and hit them. As they perform their song, the sandbags keep missing the stooges, frustrating Jones more and more. At the end of the song, finally at his wits end, he drops one last giant bag, but it ends up hitting him instead, causing him to crash through the stage floor, killing him.

At Jones' funeral the stooges serve as his pallbearers. While Moe is standing over Jones' open casket Curly and Larry are digging the grave, and the metal part flies off of Curly's shovel and hits Moe in the head, causing him to fall unconscious into the coffin, which shuts afterward. Curly and Larry go to bury the coffin, unaware that Moe is inside.

After the casket is buried, while the priest is speaking, just as Curly and Larry wonder where Moe is, everyone hears an echoey yell. Larry and Curly look at each other with horrified realization. The priests speech is once again interrupted by a furious Moe digging himself out of Redd's grave, terrifying the rest of the funeral goers. In the ensuing slap fight between the stooges, Jones' widow is inadvertently struck by Curly, leading to the stooges arrest.

While in prison, the stooges end up in even more trouble, such as in the cafeteria and in the workout field. A death row inmate with a strong resemblance to Curly manages to escape, and the guards confuse Curly for the inmate. He is put in the electric chair, but the attempts to execute him are unsuccessful, only tickling him and causing him to make several crazy faces and sounds.

The stooges are sent to court for the charges of assault and defiling a grave. After more antics, such as an embarrassing testimony from Curly, the judge orders that the stooges pay a fine of $100,000 or else they will be drafted into the army.
