In the Sweet Pie and Pie

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 is one of My favorite Three Stooges shorts of all time! The Stooges are extremely funny! I was amazing how Mary Ainslee and Ethelreda Leopold really looked like sisters and how Richard Fiske acted so differently. Vernon Dent, Symona Boniface, Dorothy Appleby, Eddie Laughton, Geneva Mitchell, Al Thompson, and Lynton Brent are also in this one. I saw some of this at one of My large theaters which has a huge screen and it was something else to see this one on the big screen! There are so many hilarious scenes! This is a great Three Stooges short!

In the Sweet Pie and Pie (1941)

*** (out of 4)

At times hilarious short finds The Three Stooges in prison about to be put to death for a crime they didn't commit. A lawyer learns about their hanging and talks his three female clients into marrying the boys so that they can collect an inheritance but sure enough after the marriage the boys are set free. IN THE SWEET PIE AND PIE has a few weeks spots but for the most part this is classic Stooges as the boys go through some hilarious situations including a terrific pie fight that closes the film. The first portion of the movie packs quite a few laughs as the boys are trying to figure out a way to get out of prison not knowing that Curly has had saws the entire time. The second portion of the film is much better as the boys find themselves trying to fit into society and this includes a very funny dance sequence as well as the before mentioned pie fight. Speaking of the pie fight, I will admit that when they happen I usually don't laugh and it seems like this is something that the Stooges used every few shorts. Even though I normally don't laugh that certainly wasn't the case here because I thought the entire fight was hilarious and especially all of the reactions given by Moe. Just look at his covered up face when he first gets hit with the cake as it's very funny. While watching this rather long sequence I wondered how many takes they would have to do just to make sure all of the pies hit their targets perfectly.

"In the Sweet Pie and Pie" is a classic Three Stooges short. Here's the plot (not that plot matters much for the Stooges): Three wealthy sisters can only receive their inheritance if they get married by a certain night. With their boyfriends out of town, they decide to marry some convicts who are about to be hanged the next day. Enter Moe, Larry, and Curley. And enter big laughs.

I daresay this is one of the funniest Stooges shorts I've ever seen. It has it all: silly one-liners, plenty of slapping and poking, and of course, a magnificent pie-throwing battle. If you're a fan of the Three Stooges, you will certainly enjoy this insane work of comedic art.

Larry, Curly, and Moe are innocent convicts facing execution in 24 hours. Tiska, Taska, and Baska are society girls who have to marry soon for their inheritance but their boyfriends are stuck at sea. Their lawyer comes up with a foolproof plan to marry the Stooges before their executions. After their quickie marriage, the real Mushroom Murder Mob is found and the Stooges are pardoned. Now the girls are stuck with the idiots and they scheme to get rid of them.

I really don't like the Curly stunt double but I must admit that he's too old to do that. There is also a bit of recycling as often happens with the Stooges. The pie fight is pretty standard although the Stooges make it fun. All in all, this is ridiculous fun from the Stooges and it's rather standard.

Can you believe it!? Everyone's favorite stooges (that's Curly, Larry and Moe) are actually in prison (waiting execution) for their apparent involvement with the notoriously ruthless Mushroom Murder Gang.

Well, before you go and shed any tears for these boys, you can be rest assured that their wrongful accusation has promptly been given a full pardon from the governor.

And, so now our guilt-free guys can fly to the open arms of their newly wedded wives, Tiska, Taska, and Baska Jones where (before the night is over) you can be certain that some real zany, over-the-top shenanigans is gonna get well underway when the stooges try to toe-the-line and transform themselves into proper gentlemen of high-society living. (Nyuck! Nyuck! Nyuck!)
