The Three Stooges

The Three Stooges (2012) is a Farrelly brothers comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Larry, Curly and Moe were dumped on the doorstep of a nuns' orphanage as babies, and they grew up no smarter for it.

When they learn the only home they've ever known is about to close over its debts, the trio heads out into the world to scrape together $830,000 in a single month. They earn none of it, of course. Instead they blunder into someone else's murder plot and somehow become stars of a trashy reality show. Eye pokes, face slaps, frying pans to the head — the signature routine carried over almost untouched from the black-and-white shorts of the 1930s.

Peter and Bobby Farrelly (Dumb and Dumber) spent years wanting to bring the legendary trio back, casting Sean Hayes, Will Sasso and Chris Diamantopoulos in the roles. Sofia Vergara, Jane Lynch and most of the Jersey Shore crew turn up too. Pure slapstick with no pretensions: all pain, no brain. Stream The Three Stooges (2012) online on iFILM.
