Three Little Beers

Larry, Curly, and Moe are bumbling brewery deliverymen. It's the company's annual golf tournament and 1st prize is 100 bucks. The guys sneak into a country club to learn to play golf.

Golf is a natural subject matter for the boys. It's easy to do and the high class backdrop clashes perfectly with the boys. I would rather have the boys dress as regular workmen while everybody else wear golf clothes. I like Curly doing his laundry. I think they could do more golf stuff. I know they like to do two parts in their shorts but a full-on takedown of golf culture would be more interesting. Then there is the Donkey Kong section. There are some stunts with doubles. The boys do take a few hits. It's hard to get more from the boys with such physically tough slapstick. This is very good although this leaves me wanting more.

The Panther Beer Company is having trouble getting their deliveries done on time, so they hire three new guys. You can guess whom! They get off to a bad start when they spill one barrel of beer on top of the company president's head!

It's also time for the beer company's annual golf tournament. Coincidentally, the first beer run is at the fairly-swank golf course. Needless to say, the boys don't exactly fit in at the golf club.

The Stooges trying to play golf is, of course, ludicrous with some classic scenes. By the time they are done, they've ruined the course. The greens-keepers - all with strong Italian accents - are going out of their minds.

The best part of this might not have been the golf but final few minutes when they run away and spill all the beer barrels out of their truck and mayhem ensues in the streets. It's corny; it's stupid, but it is classic Stooges slapstick humor, reminiscent of the silent comedy era which was less than 10 years before this was made.

Note: This is one of those movies in which they spell Curley with an "e." Most of the time, it's "Curly."

This is a very funny short by the stooges they enter a golfing tournament so they can get money but just end up getting everyone mad for example Larry finds a string and keeps pulling it and it ruins the green, Moe also ruins the green by trying to hit the ball but keeps missing or not hitting it far and Curly gets his club stuck in a tree and then chops it down. Overall very funny.

This is by far the best short episode i have seen, the most madcapped, slapstick episode created. Moe, Larry and Curly each exhibit their best performances as wannabe golfers, who in their usual way, ruin almost an entire golfcourse, i couldn't get over the laughs in this one! definate 10 out of 10 material!

Dated of course, but with the upcoming movie there will be much renewed interest in the Stooges. Still funny after 65 years, the boys will be around for a long time as generation after generation dicovers them.
