Reception

Steven Oxman of Variety said in a review that in the film who the Three Stooges were and why they were funny was lost in its exposition. He explained that "[sic] the film does cover a lot for a two-hour telepic. But it also chooses information over insight, exegesis over drama, never making a case along the way for what made the Stooges such a lasting phenomenon. The final dish in this crowded kitchen has lots of quality ingredients, but almost no flavor."^[2]
