The Three Stooges poster

Why people love it

People revisit The Three Stooges for the same reason it broke through in 2012: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a comedy rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Peter Farrelly keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The film leans hard into its core genre, which is exactly what fans say they wanted more of from blockbusters in that era.
