About this movie

Three manic idiots; a lawyer, cab driver and a handyman team up to run a ballet company to fulfill the will of a millionaire. Stooge-like antics result as the trio try to outwit the rich widow and her scheming big-shot lawyer, who also wants to run the ballet.

Ratings and reviews

How many movies do you still laugh at all the way through? Bought this on VHS in 1993 and again on DVD after 2000. Great one liners and energy to spare. Truly an underrated movie and needs to be watched by more people.

Classic Turturro; classic Zucker Brothers. This is essentially a Marx Brothers update with Turturro as Groucho. It got swept under the rug when the Zuckers left the studio just before its release and that's why you've probably never heard of it. There's some iffy acting and dated aesthetic, but the jokes and gags come so quickly and hit their marks often enough that it's hard to find fault. Recommended.

Three stooges with John T. In starring role. Nobody knows this movie but they should. My kids love it.
