It also doesn't help that the funniest line of dialogue is spoken by Snookie, either. But the PSA is more insulting because it speaks to the idea that the filmmakers didn't trust kids not to imitate the acts portrayed in the movie, as though they aren't smart enough to tell the difference between real and make believe. I found an interview of Moe Howard on Youtube in which he references a statement by a child psychologist saying that watching the Stooges show was no different than watching a Western to kids. Normal children will no more likely pick up a gun and shoot someone or poke someones eye out, no matter which they watch. It's only the isolated instances of problem children that would actually do these things, and that has nothing to do with what they watch at home.Mr. Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12070680960061669328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-330613451419825697.post-7011756710133931442012-04-24T09:53:05.626-04:002012-04-24T09:53:05.626-04:00See, I'm a huge fan of both The Marx Brothers ...See, I'm a huge fan of both The Marx Brothers and The Three Stooges. Both groups always found a way to make me laugh. And that's the biggest disservice this film makes. It doesn't make the audience laugh. That being said, I would have been far more gracious with my grade (http://www.theblabbingbaboon.com/) but it's that annoying (IMO, insulting) P.S.A. they tagged at the end of the film that plunged it into "Ghost Rider" territory.Richard J.
