Audience Member All ages admitted!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 27 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Made in 1962, it's cheapness feels like a mix between a 50's B movie and a surreal feeling. Yes, the plot is absurd, yes, the execution is cheap among the cheap, but, if you watch it carefully, you see that the trio is trying hard to give us some kicks of that ol' magic of other times. Many fans lower De Rita's performance As a "well, who else do we got?" Type. Curly was the perfect complement, and after his departure, they got Shemp back. But alas, they managed to keep running the group for a few more years... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member The stooges slapstick will never fail to entertain me, and it is done most splendidly here. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Usual stuff as they have a go at the whole martian invaders type plot which was very popular back in the day Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a Three Stooges film. You know what you're gonna get. You'll either like it, or you won't, and you'll probably know which one it is before you see it. In any case, this one features Larry, Moe and Curly-Joe running rampant with one poor old Professors life work in an adventure that sees pies flying, head being thumped, people slipping over, and even, as the title suggests, heading into orbit on a secret military weapon. All this to save their show (and the Earth, as a bonus). It's funny in parts, but 1 and a half hours of slapstick can wear thin after a little while. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Very funny Three Stooges film features Moe, Larry, and Curly trying to find a new room and board. They think their troubles are solved when they stumble upon an old professor, who has just invented the first tank/helicopter/submarine, with an available guest room. However what they don't realize is that martians have infiltrated the professor's house and plan to take his invention and use it to destroy the Earth. On top of all this, their Three Stooges tv show faces the threat of cancellation if they can't find more original cartoons to feature. The Three Stooges in Orbit is full of comedic potential and it reaches most of that potential, especially in the beginning. Unfortunately the middle slows up on the jokes to make way for the plot. This humor is this film is of the dumb, goofy, and silly variety so you have to go in with the right mind for this film. For that reason, if you're not already a fan of The Three Stooges, this film won't probably won't appeal to you but it had me laughing most of the way through, as it will with other fans of the three funniest guys ya know!
