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.

"Three Little Beers" came out at a very good time. After all, Prohibition had only recently been repealed and the film capitalizes on this by having the Stooges play delivery men for a brewery.

On their new job, the Stooges learn that the brewery is offering a contest for its employees. They decide to try their hand at playing golf...and the contest offers some nice cash prizes. So, instead of delivering the beer, they sneak off to a golf course to practice. Naturally they make nuisances of themselves!

This is a genuinely funny short film. Much of it is because this is unfamiliar territory for the team, as in many of the later films, their plots are recycled from previous shorts from Columbia (not just theirs...but those of other comedians). My only complains, and it's minor, is the use of the rear projection when Moe is dancing on a barrel...it is a bit cheesy.

What do you get when you add Three Stooges and eighteen holes of golf? The greatest comedy short ever caught on film!

Moe, Larry, and Curly are working for a brewing company in this one. They hear about the upcoming company golf outing and decide to get in some practice so that they can win the prize money. But putting those three guys on a golf course is bad news for the course! I've never seen such big divots! Even when I play golf! And the ending leaves me rolling on the floor every time I see it. Yes, the laughs certainly are on par.

This is my favorite Stooges short by far. A big whopping 11 out of 10!

this is definitely one of my favourite 3 stooges short. i've watched it over and over again and laugh out loud every single time.

i watched 3 stooges as a kid every Saturday morning with my dad, and am only just rediscovering them. watching them now, i didn't think i would like them, as i've grown up and my tastes have changed -- and it's true -- i love the 3 stooges now!

the title is a little misleading, as most of the action occurs on the golf course and not with the stooges' job as beer delivery men.

one thing that makes this short so good is that the stooges split up and create havoc on the golf course on their own, in their own equally funny way. this lets Larry and Curly, for instance, make trouble without Moe there to stop them.

my favourite line in this short has to be when the stooges noisily approach a man who is just about to tee off, and the golfer asks them to be quiet - and Moe replies: "oh, you've got secrets, eh?"

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.
