Surprisingly entertaining film for someone who never was a big fan of the stooges. Well acted by all, and well paced. Would've enjoyed more details about "the boys," but understand the time pressures of a TV movie. It made me want to read the book. Small bonus: after years of never being able to match the voice of HBO's Crypt Keeper to the face(John Kassir), this TV movie gives us a chance to see him as Shemp.
