The Farrelly brothers' new film reimagines Moe, Curly and Larry in the present day, but retains the Stooges' trademark slapstick humor and sound effects. "We tried to keep it looking exactly like the Stooges did it," says Peter Farrelly.
The two brothers have become practically the brand name for bad taste. Their movies Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin, There's Something About Mary and Shallow Hall, plumbed new depths of tastelessness. But their fans love the films, and despite their gross-out humor, the Farrellys seem to create characters that audiences care about. Their new film Stuck on You is about two brothers who are Siamese twins. It stars Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear. It's supposedly their most autobiographical film.
We'll feature a live, on-stage interview recorded with the Farrelly Brothers from this year's New York Comedy Film Festival. Peter and Bobby Farrelly wrote and directed this summer's hit film "There's Something About Mary." They also collaborated on Dumb and Dumber and Kingpin. Slated for release later this year is the film version of Outside Providence (penned by Bobby Farrelly), starring Alec Baldwin and directed by Michael Corrente.
