Perfect cast and a good story

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Robert Joyner
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This is not a particular good Stooges short or a great debut for The Three at Columbia at all. It wasn't even meant to be one to begin with (it was part of a musical series Columbia did and it shows), seeing The Stooges rhyme was very bizarre, although the plot of Larry Moe and Curly joining a Woman's Haters Club was interesting, most of the laughs were lost because of the attempts at making everything a rhyme. Occasionally there would be a funny moment, like when The Stooges are interacting with Mary near the end, but it was only mildly amusing. Overall I'd say the short was kind of a waste of time, and I'm a big Three Stooges fan, heck probably the biggest fan of my generation, so the short was very disappointment for me. Thankfully things would only get better from here.

There's a reason you won't ever see this short on television.At least I've not seen it on TV ever, and only saw it today because I bought The Ultimate Collection.This short would rate 6 or 7 stars if the - very loud - background music was removed.It is difficult to hear the dialog because of the music.That leaves the only other problem, i.e. the dialog being in rhyme. Very distracting from the story.Now, that said, there's not a thing wrong with the acting and the story line is fine though it wouldn't've hurt from a touch more development.

The Three Stooges made their Columbia Pictures debut with this short involving the boys joining a Woman Haters club. Where apparently it's some kind of a rule to constantly sing in rhyme. Without apparently any reason.I'm not sure how Moe, Larry, and Curly would feel, but the short bears resemblance to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Hiawatha in that it's a poetical telling of a story. I doubt though the gag writers at Columbia would credit that with their inspiration. They've got mutiny in the ranks of the Woman Haters, Larry wants to get married to Marjorie White. It's a disgraceful situation that threatens to leave Curly totally at the mercy of Moe without Larry as a buffer.If you can orient yourself to the musical rhyme which could be taken as a harbinger of rap, the Stooges solve the problem in their normal manner. This salute to misogyny called Woman Haters is not a bad debut for the boys.

Woman Haters (1934) *** (out of 4) Columbia's first Three Stooges short has the boys joining a women hater's club but things turn bad when Larry marries a girl. This is a rather strange short for the Stooges even though it was their first and their typical style and brand of humor takes a back seat to some singing. The dialogue, all of it rhyming, was a little annoying at first but after a while it didn't bother me. The introduction to the Stooges was great as were the scenes where Larry tries to keep his club joining away from the new wife.
