Mutts to You

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 one of My favorite Three Stooges shorts with Curly! All Appearing in this short are Bess Flowers, Lane Chandler, Vernon Dent, Bud Jamison, and Cy Schindell! This one is so hilarious! Curly has a great performance here and in My opinion its one of his best. I strongly recommend this Three Stooges short!

Mutts to You (1938)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

Stooges short has the boys seeing a baby on a doorstep so they take him home with them as they think he has been abandoned. Soon they learn that the parents have reported him missing so they must find a way to return him without getting busted. This isn't one of the guys better shorts but there are enough laughs here to make it worth viewing at least once. I think the highlight of the film isn't really a laugh but we get a scene where the boys are running a dog wash. There's a Dalmatian that gets put on an assembly line where he gets washed, scrubbed and done up and I'm amazed by the performance of the dog. I was really surprised any mutt would sit there and let all this stuff happen to him and he does come across as a good sport. He sticks out more than the film itself as there aren't too many good jokes that work here. There are a few funny moments as the guys try to sneak the kid pass their landlord and another decent sequence when the boys try to escape from a cop. The rest of the jokes are pretty much misses including one where Moe and Larry pretend to be from China.

Larry, Curly, and Moe operate a dog washing assembly line. Mr. Manning comes to pick up his dog. Due to some misunderstandings, Mrs. Manning mistakenly believes that her husband had taken the baby to Palm Springs after leaving him on her doorstep. The Stooges pick up the baby to be brought to the police. Before that, they have to hide it from their landlord. Then, the Mannings report their missing baby as a kidnapping. It's a solid Stooges short. The story is a little too convoluted. It seems easier for the Mannings to leave the baby at the wash shop. It's also a little too easy for Mrs. Manning to realize that the boys didn't kidnap the baby. This is good if not great.

The stooges are dog washers that find a baby on the door step of a house and think the mother and father abandoned it so they take it and feed him before they turn him in to the police to find the owner then end up running from the cops because the cops think the stooges are kidnappers. In the end the mother finds the baby and the stooges are cleared. ***/5

He wanders, professionally washes the dogs, finds the baby on the doorstep and, thinking she is abandoned, takes her home. When they read in the newspaper that the baby is believed to have been abducted, they disguise themselves as Curly as the baby's mother and try to sneak past a local police officer. They are caught, but when the baby's parents show up and realize what happened, the result is a happy ending.
