The Three Stooges arrives on DVD tomorrow. I was very pleased with the movie when it came out in April and then not very happy when it failed to do much at the box office.

Please understand that this is an unabashedly lowbrow comedy, but it finds its groove early on and doesn't overstay its welcome. That's good enough for me. My Three Stooges review is up at Screen International.
