The Three Stooges has always been some of the many actors that I have loved. I love just about every one of the shorts that they have made. I love all six of the Stooges (Curly, Shemp, Moe, Larry, Joe, and Curly Joe)! All of the shorts are hilarious and also star many other great actors and actresses which a lot of them was in many of the shorts! In My opinion The Three Stooges is some of the greatest actors ever and is the all time funniest comedy team!

This here is a very good Three Stooges short with Joe. The things that happen in this short film are a bit rough but is funny! Connie Cezan plays the Stooges' girlfriend and plays the role quite good. She in a very different looking woman but yet a very attractive one as well. There is also a Three Stooges short with Shemp with an alternate ending.

This episode was okay, Larry takes most of Moe's wrath while Joe just takes a little bit of hitting from Moe and Larry. The fight was kind of good but I would've preferred the original ending. Overall, an average stooge short. My Rating: C

...I actually like this better than the original that it's a remake of, "Corny Casanovas". Maybe it's because I saw this one first, but mostly I think it's because I find a lot of the Stooges' violent slapstick (which there's less of here) *less* funny than other gags they do.

Nonetheless, it's obvious that Joe is not receiving as much slapstick as Larry. Even though the heavy hitting isn't my favorite part of a given Stooge short, the imbalance between Larry and Joe here is so obvious as to disrupt the flow of things. Joe practically has a target painted on his bald head at one point, for gosh sake!

While I can't say I prefer Joe to Shemp or Curly, I do think he gets an unfairly bad rap from fans. Barring his glaring lack of getting hit here, he fits right in. And, as always, he brings his own character to the part that isn't Shemp or Curly, but doesn't have to be. And he cracked me up with his head-polishing and ketchup-on-the-pancakes bits!

Personally, I question whether a *real* Stooge fan would bash a Besser short just because it's a Besser short...

For you stoogeheads who haven't seen this short, but have seen (and watched repeatedly) the original version 'CORNY CASANOVAS', then stick to watching that one and don't waste your time on this clunker. All of the Besser remaking Curly or Shemp shorts miss the mark, but this attempt is extremely putrid. Poor editing, and transitions from old to new footage (and vice-versa), horribly redone gags, Moe treating diaper Joe like a delicate 2 year old instead of cracking his skull like he did with Shemp & Curly. In short, it stinks!
