Not a Stooges fan but...
24 September 2016
...I will watch any movie with a 'rocket ship' in it. HR,WT was a weak science fiction spoof with typical Stooge hijinks. The film starts slowly and other that a few good gags (Larry stuck in the plumbing) was not particularly funny. The treatment of the female scientist was classic '50s, so much so that it belongs in some post-feminist doctoral thesis on changing attitudes towards women professionals. The fire breathing tarantula was worth the time spent on the couch, but only barely. Although playing their Stooge roles to the hilt, the boys seem like real professionals, especially in the brief scenes when they are handling the monkey.
