Romance...Stooge style
20 November 2001
Dare I say it? Another one of the Stooges' greatest films. The premise is simple: The stooges are all in love with the same girl and don't know it... until they each go to meet her at her apartment. But the main plot isn't the only thing entertaining about this wonderful film. Indeed, the film's greatest laughs come from the film's set-up... the Stooges trying to make their own apartment "presentable" for their sweetheart. Some hilarious if painful gags result from this... Moe getting shot across the scalp by a handgun which Shemp is using in place of a hammer, Moe getting a very large number of tacks in his rear end after Larry accidentally fires them there with a rifle (don't ask) and Moe swallowing a mouthful of tacks (again Larry is to blame) which must be removed by his swallowing a magnet! Also look for a scene during the climactic fight at the end where Moe stuffs a fireplace bellows into Larry's mouth and proceeds to "pump" inflating Larry's stomach like a hot air balloon! Funny, funny, funny. Before I reveal too much more, I highly recommend this gem. See for yourself!
