• Of all the Three Stooges films this is the one that baffles me the most, and I'm sure many other fans will consider me a blasphemous knucklehead for not really caring for it. I've always liked the Stooges, but this one is the epitome of what I think many "Stooge Haters" can't stand about them. They play three zany doctors here who have no business being anywhere near a hospital as they completely turn the place upside down with nonstop slapstick. That's what bugs me about it; it's just silliness and stupidity gone wild, but only for its own sake, without much reason other than to just act nutty. Unbelievably, MEN IN BLACK was the one and only Stooges film to ever be nominated for an Oscar (fortunately, sanity must have prevailed since it didn't win). If I were going to nominate a Stooges comedy for an award it would be PUNCH DRUNKS, the short just before this one. Sorry, puddin' heads. ** out of ****
