VHS Movie Reviews of 3 Stooges: Gents in Jam [VHS]

Movie Review: Move Aside, Tool Time!
Summary: 5 Stars

A SNITCH IN TIME (1950) is a good example of director Ed Bernds directorial talent. I tend to agree with the previous reviewer who said the table scene borrowed from a Curly short slowed things down, but overall the short is fun to watch. Seeing Moe's character flip for their leading lady is an interesting switch (usually it's the third stooge, or all of them, who have the love interest).

GENTS IN A JAM (1952) is another Ed Bernds classic, also his last film with the stooges. That is, until they started doing features several years later. Again, the boys cause more damage than repairs (I LOVED the bit with the broken radio). And, like most Bernds films, there is a very funny chase scene. In this one, Uncle Phineas (Emil Sitka) takes some VERY real-looking blows. Again, we have a winner!

GOOF ON THE ROOF (1953) is my favorite film of the three. True to Jules White's directing style, some of the film is hilarious and some of it would put a speed addict to sleep. I didn't care for the first half of the film (although seeing Moe eat a soap sandwich and guzzle a bottle of vinegar was amusing). Seeing a guy's head in a bucket of water loses its appeal after the first time. But the second half of the film is a riot! Seeing the boys try (and I do mean TRY) to install a TV and antenna is worth enduring the first half of the film! Overall, it is a MUST SEE! If you liked Tool Time, you'll love the shorts on this tape!
