Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) This is an almost 80-year-old short film featuring The Three Stooges. It is in black-and-white, which is not a given anymore in 1936, and runs for roughly 16 minutes just like pretty much all their short films do. "Disorder in the Court" is possibly the most famous Stooges film, also because it features the 3 most liked Stooges (no offense to Shemp, I like him): Larry, Curly and Moe, the two latter ones being brothers. Still I have to say that this one here does not even come close to being my favorite from the very very long Stooges filmography. Not even close. The director here is Jack White and he worked a lot with the Stooges just like writer Felix Adler.The trio are witnesses in a murder trial at court and it all becomes very chaotic the moment the enter the courtroom and Curly takes the stand. There is lots of slapstick in here, many jokes on word-plays and also some violence here and there, actually a lot given we see people constantly poked in the eyes, hit with hammers and even shot on one occasions. But it's all harmless and nobody ever gets hurt in these Stooges movies. I personally did not find the humor too brilliant in this one here and that's why I cannot recommend it. Maybe I will review further Stooges films in the future. Keep an eye out for those that I prefer over "Disorder in the Court".

frankfob I like this short, although i don't believe it ranks in their top five, or even top ten, as some others have claimed. Curly is terrific, Bud Jamison as the prosecutor and Harry Semels as the defense attorney are first-rate, even Eddie Le Saint--not known for his comic skills--is good as the judge. It has its shortcomings--the woman who plays the defendant who's supposed to be a nightclub dancer is embarrassingly lead-footed when she demonstrates her "act", and the scene where Larry bursts into a Tarzan yell on the stand makes no sense whatsoever--but overall it's pretty funny. The one thing that always struck me about it, though, is how primitive it looks. This was made in 1936, but for some reason it looks and sounds like it was made in maybe the late '20s or early '30s, just after the dawn of talkies. Some of the Stooges' shorts from 1934 and 1935 look far more contemporary and up-do-date than this one does. I don't know what the problem was, but for some reason it just has the feel of a movie that was made 5 or 6 years before it actually was. That's a small point, though, and doesn't really distract from the fact that this is a pretty good example of the guys' work, especially Curly's. Recommended.

Snow Leopard This hilarious short comedy is one of the best-remembered Three Stooges movies, with plenty of zany slapstick and other gags that make very good use of the courtroom setting. It builds up nicely, starting with some light comedy including puns and sight gags, and it ends up in a typical Stooges free-for-all.The story starts with Moe, Larry, and Curly being called as witnesses in a murder trial, and it adds just enough detail to the trial itself to maintain a story line in the midst of the gradually increasing chaos. Many of the props in the courtroom, from the evidence exhibits to the furniture, are used to good effect.The setting works very well in bringing the Stooges with their free-wheeling approach to things into the courtroom with its staid, time-honored ways of doing things. It's funny in itself, and it allows for some amusing clashes, which at times also poke fun at the absurdity of some of the court system's archaic customs and terminology. It's especially enjoyable to watch the court functionaries attempting to 'swear in' Curly as a witness, a sequence that Curly pulls off especially well."Disorder in the Court" really has everything that you hope for in a Three Stooges comedy, and it's among their best movies.

shokenjii Even with periods of dementia and depression, my 88-year old mother remains discriminating about which videos merit both her close attention and her laughter. Family members try to select compatible, bright-spirited films for Mom (from family situations, animal stories, musicals, comedies, and international intrigue), while weeding out offensive sex and violence. An area of trial and error has been Slapstick Comedy, which produced mixed and sometimes disappointing results -- all pies in all faces are not slam-dunk belly laughs -- or even condescending smiles. Complex, sophisticated, or subtle humor may be difficult for Mom to process at this stage in life.Initially, she did not respond well to recent viewings of The Three Stooges -- in a lucid state, her more traditional values carry over. With earlier cultural and social restraints prevailing, she remembers the guys as silly goofs. But in current showings, she laughs openly - sometimes to a point of tears - at the zany antics of Moe, Larry, and Curly (only "Home Alone (1990)," brings out as much unrestrained laughter). It could be inferred that, when dementia erodes Mom's inhibitions of long standing, she is more relaxed and laughs easier (or, maybe she has developed a liking for The Three Stooges). Hopefully this simplistic discussion is neither insensitive nor disrepectful in suggesting that any form of happiness - free of tensions and uncertainties - is preferable to debilitating depression.We have purchased several Three Stooges full-length and short feature DVDs, together with other slapstick comedies. "The Three Stooges Go Around The World In A Daze (1963)," a full-length parody of Jules Verne's book / Michael Todd's film, "Around The World In Eighty Days" scores high on my mother's laugh-meter; but her favorite is "Disorder In The Court (1936)," a short feature film, with Moe, Larry, and Curly at their classic best -- memorable routines of a comedy form that can only be described as, "Dear God, please don't ever let me see my children behave like that in public."Aging is a one-way journey, often difficult; and taking The Three Stooges along with you will make it a much looser and happier ride. A slap, poke, gouge, kick, or scream from Moe, Larry, and Curly can't be all bad -- can it?
