I can't imagine any chance of this being a success.

Does anyone in Hollywood ever have any new ideas?

I can't believe Sean Penn would go anywhere near Jim Carry!

And the thought of Benicio Del Toro playing Moe makes me shudder.

That would be the most brilliant casting decision since David Johansen as Gunther Toody in Car 54, Where Are You? (another brilliant Hollywood remake).

Sean Penn doesn't have one tenth the comedic talent that Larry Fine had.

Agreed ! They should leave this alone.

I suspect that the reaction of those 25 and under will be somewhat different than that of us with grey hair.  There is always a strong reaction (and I share it) in favor of the originals, but when you may not have seen the originals, your mind is more open.  ???

I'm not even saying that's a good thing - just that it does happen.

I don't think so. Nobody who isn't familiar with the real Stooges is going to be interested, regardless of age, and I can't see many of those people wanting to see an imitation.

Hell, Joe Besser's ghost would be better than Sean Penn.

Curly Joe was Joe DeRita, the one who resembled Curly Howard. He came after Joe Besser, who joined after Shemp died.

Curly Joe was bad, Joe Besser was awful.

Without someone who could do the right "nyuk-nyuk-nyuk", there would be no Stooges.

Sean Penn must be good for some comedic value, he was married to Madonna, after all...

I just spent 5 minutes watching this, you tell me how Penn, Carrey and Del Toro could ever begin to come close.

I dont think I can ever except anyone else as the three Stooges, although I did enjoy the mini series awile back (by Mel Gibson?) about their story. That was pretty insightfull
