I must admit I am a big fan of the three stooges, and I was worried about the low ratings given to the film by many IMDb users. Bottom line: I loved it! This movie was more aimed at kids, and the kids in the audience laughed out loud constantly, which made me feel good. It was a combination of three three stooges meet Annie. They did a great job with the film and I really enjoyed it and wasn't disappointed at all. The scene where they were disguised as nurses in the nursery was my favorite part. Three stooges fans won't be disappointed. People who don't find the three stooges funny might not like it. I thought all of the actors were good, especially all of the stooges!

If your idea of entertainment is watching family members yell at each other, offer bitter sarcasm, and make each other feel bad about themselves, this is the movie for you! My French teacher told me this was one of his favorite films, so I ordered it from France in the European version. I was very disappointed. Granted, my French isn't perfect, but I understood most of it and still thought it wasn't very funny. In fact, it made me uncomfortable, and very little struck me as funny or entertaining. I guess the French have a different sense of humor. Because the screen play was adapted from a play, almost all of the story takes place inside of a bar, and this takes some of the potential entertainment value away. There isn't much of a plot--I kept waiting for something to happen, but it never did.

The group which saw this film with me loved it. It has a perfect combination of humor (sometimes slapstick, sometimes subtle), emotion, and suspense as to what will happen next. The scenery is also well done. Highly recommended--you won't be sorry you saw it! You are really pulling for the town to succeed, and the ending is great. You never know what happens till the very end.

Each character has a unique and funny personality--kind of like all of the characters in Mayberry. The women in the town are especially hilarious, mainly during the scenes in which they listen to bugged conversations with the doctor to find out what things they need to do to make him fall in love with the town. A very cute film!
