The Three Stooges

Plot hole: When Larry and Curley reunite with Moe on the Jersey Shore set, the producer who got Moe on the show is surprised to see there are three of them, conveniently forgetting he was watching all three together on stage before Larry and Curley walked off and he gave Moe the part.

Plot hole: When Sofia Vergara drives off, the boys are at least 10-20 feet away from her car. The next scene shows they had somehow dropped their gear, run to the moving car, somehow grabbed onto the edge of the trunk while she drove home at 40 MPH, and she never noticed them in the rear view mirror? And their shoes didn't skid or make them trip or fall or slide off around corners?

Continuity mistake: In the long shot of Sister Bernice as a lifeguard at the pool, she is twirling a whistle with her right hand. But in the close-up shot of her a moment later, the whistle has gone.

Trivia: Jim Carrey was originally offered the role of Curly, but turned it down because he didn't want to wear a fat suit, and felt he was too old to gain the necessary weight without risking his health.

More trivia for The Three Stooges

Question: I don't remember if it was mentioned in the movie, but are the three stooges brothers or friends?

Rydersriot87

Chosen answer: The original Three Stooges was comprised of two brothers, Moe Howard and Curly Howard, and also Larry Fine, who was unrelated. After Curley suffered a debilitating stroke in the 1950s, his brother, Shemp Howard, took over as the third Stooge. In this movie they're just friends.

Answer: In the film, they grow up as friends, but it is a bit misleading, considering they were all babies put on the doorstep together. That WOULD make one confused as to the answer to that question.
