Busy Buddies (1944)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Decent but uneven short has The Three Stooges working in a cafe where all heck breaks loose. After destroying some pies they're given the weekend to come up with the money, which leads them to a cow milking contest.
There are several big laughs scattered throughout BUSY BUDDIES but there's no question that the short is rather uneven the say the least. There are basically three different story lines here and I would argue that they don't mix too well together. Each of them contains some big laughs but one wishes there was a better flow to it. One of the highlights deals with a fake cow but I won't ruin what happens to it. If you're a fan of the Stooges then you'll get a few laughs but this certainly isn't their best movie.
