GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Michael_Elliott Yes, We Have No Bonanza (1939)*** (out of 4)Set in the Old West (although there are cars here), the Three Stooges find themselves working as waiters but their goals are to marry the woman they love who also work in the bar. That's nearly impossible as the girl's father owes money to the bar owner but the boys set out to get their riches in gold and think they find it. This certainly isn't classic Stooges but there are enough funny moments here to make it worth viewing. One of the best gags is a scene where Curly throws Moe a bear, which he catches but when he tries to throw Larry one he misses and it ends up all over Moe. Other nice gags include a sequence where the boys think their mule has eaten a stick of dynamite as well as another great one when they finally discover some money. The start of the film also has Moe and Larry singing a couple songs, which are pretty good, although the woman singing with them are pretty bad. I'm not quite sure why so much of the film takes place in the 1800s yet we then get a few moments with cars that would make you think it was current times. This here really isn't that big of a deal as there are plenty of laughs.
ccthemovieman-1 This is a somewhat familiar storyline of the good-hearted Three Stooges trying to help out their girls by earning some money to get them out of debt. In this case, their nasty boss is threatening their girls father. The boss also is the boys' boss as all six of them work in this saloon out West. It's not the "Old West" days, though, because there are automobiles but everything else looks like the 1800s. The boys also hope to marry the girls, if they are financially better off, so that's added incentive.As also is the case many times, the nasty boss is a crook. In this story, the guy and a cohort had robbed a bank and stashed the money in a hole in the ground outside of town. You-know-who just happens to discover the money the next day!Among the insane sights in this Stooges short is a burro wearing galoshes. The burro is named "Yorick," and when it appears it was accidentally blown up, yes, we hear: "Alas, poor Yorick. We knew him well." (You knew that line was coming!)Overall, a silly and so-so episode but entertaining in its goofy way.
slymusic "Yes, We Have No Bonanza" is a very good Three Stooges Western directed by Del Lord. Moe, Larry, and Curly are waiters and bartender, respectfully, at a saloon called Maxey's Place. Their mission is to raise enough money in order to help three pretty saloon gals (Suzanne Kaaren, Lola Jensen, and Jean Carmen) pay off their father's debt to the saloon's crooked owner (Dick Curtis). The Stooges eventually decide that digging for buried treasure just might be the solution.Highlights: At the opening of this film, the Stooges and the three gals (who unfortunately don't sing very well) harmonize "Red River Valley" and "She'll Be Comin' around the Mountain When She Comes." Curly tosses a beer mug at Moe, who catches it successfully; Larry isn't so successful at catching, and the beer splashes in Moe's face, after which Moe bashes Larry's forehead with the mug. The funniest line in this short occurs when Curly explains to Moe, "I can see it now: me coming home from a hard day's work, I whistle for the dog, and my wife comes out." There exists the usual slapstick as the boys use picks and shovels to dig for gold. And for the ending, Curly recites the title of this film and gets knocked out with a brick."Yes, We Have No Bonanza" is quite an enjoyable Three Stooges short. Some Stooge fans might not consider this film to be a Western per se, because of the appearances of automobiles and scooters and such, but that's neither here nor there. The point is, "Yes, We Have No Bonanza" hits its mark in the laughter department.
Movie Nuttball The Three Stooges has always been some of the many actors that I have loved. I love just about every one of the shorts that they have made. I love all six of the Stooges (Curly, Shemp, Moe, Larry, Joe, and Curly Joe)! All of the shorts are hilarious and also star many other great actors and actresses which a lot of them was in many of the shorts! In My opinion The Three Stooges is some of the greatest actors ever and is the all time funniest comedy team! This is a very funny Three Stooges western short. All of the performances are very good and Curly is hilarious! Dick Curtis performs well as the villain and Lynton Brent does as well. Also there are brief but good performances by Vernon Dent, Jean Carmen, Lola Jensen, Suzanne Kaaren. I recommend this Three Stooges short!
