Three Little Beers

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!

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.

Exceptional early comedy from The Three Stooges, taking them out on the golf course where they completely destroy the grounds and make life miserable for the members of a golf club. Moe, Larry and Curley don't know how to play, of course, but that doesn't stop them from joining in anyway after the beer distributor they work for offers a chance for its employees to win one hundred bucks at their annual golfing tournament. Some pretty good lines here and there too, in addition to the expected physical zany routines. A good place to start for first-time Stooge viewers.

***1/2 out of ****

"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 After all, Prohibition had only recently been repealed and the film capitalizes on this by having the Stooges play delivery men for a brewery.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.

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?"
