What the Critics Say

The Three Stooges

New York Post: Lou Lumenick
"A lively score by Danny Elfman and some of the most dramatic sound-effects work since the Three Stooges."

Wall Street Journal: Joe Morgenstern
"I have minor misgivings about the use of a few Disney-esque sound effects."

Home Theater Forum: Ken McAlinden
"The DVD presents a very good Dolby Digital 5.1 re-purposing of a typically great IMAX surround sound mix. Music and foley effects are highly dimensional with a wide frequency response and large dynamic range."
