The Three Stooges is a 2012 American slapstick comedy film based on the early to mid-20th century shorts by the comedic trio The Three Stooges. The movie was produced, written and directed by the Farrelly brothers and co-written by Mike Cerrone, and stars Sean Hayes, Will Sasso, and Chris Diamantopoulos, recreating the eponymous characters played by Larry Fine, Curly Howard, and Moe Howard. The film's story places the Stooges in a modern setting.

After over a decade of casting problems, principal photography
took place from May to July 2011. The film was released on April 13,
2012, and is rated PG in the US (for slapstick action violence, some
rude and suggestive humor including language) by the MPAA rating system.
Left on a nun's doorstep, Larry, Curly and Moe grow up finger-poking,
nyuk-nyuking and woo-woo-wooing their way to uncharted levels of
knuckleheaded misadventure. Out to save their childhood home, only The
Three Stooges could become embroiled in an oddball murder plot...while
also stumbling into starring in a phenomenally successful TV reality
show.
